I will be taking pics soon but I can tell you we fertilized today with compost tea. We sprayed merit and triazide the other day and I am still finding eggs and svb grubs so I am just gonna keep up the spray progam. The have killed 5 of my cucumber plants already but those where organic so they sacrificied themselves for the love of being natural.All plants look good no insect bites and knock on wood no cucumbe beetles at all. Watemelon have taken off and we have 5 on there vines all a little bigger then softballs this might be a good melon season and my first time ever whoo hoo. All four plants have pumpkins set on them. The frantz has two on the main and one that will open a the side vine soon. The pumpkin that is set on this plant is ribbed and long and a slow grower for sure. The pumpkin on the Mitchell is the same size just not growing well. The tlish has a pumpkin set and its growing nicely but the winner for the biggest gains is the Marchand This pumpkin is growing bigger then any of my other plants sets and no ribbing nice and round. I will be taking pics soon but first I have too see if the compost tea will make a dent in the growth race. I hope everyones season is doing well and may you all grow em big.
