I found 2 exciting things this weekend. While I was inspecting the plants I discovered a small hole with some shavings coming out of the vine. This one was a foot or so past the pumpkin. I put a small slit in it and dug out my first larvae of the season. I have been a little behind on a the spraying schedule so I guess I deserved it. Then today I took a closer look at a better looking plant and found the same thing only 2 feet on the main BEFORE my best pumpkin!!! I put a slit in it but could find no grub. I sprayed heavy with Talstar and cleaned and coated with Captan. With small plants, hail damage, cracked mains, cool weather and minimal growth you might as well through some svb's into the pot. Hopefully the spray will kill anything that may be hiding. The 30 day mark will be here soon so I will measure then to see how far I am behind the 2008 Rockwell benchmarks.
