It has been quite rainy here in Western New York for most of August and much of July. A recent low pressure system seemed to camp out over the area for days. Growth rates have slowed but all pumpkins inspected and are intact at this time. Temps are just breaking into the low 70s. By this Saturday, we may see 80s again. Went to Akron Falls Park today and got this shot of the upper falls going over the Onondaga escarpment. Usually this would be just a trickle in mid summer but quite a show was seen with all the recent rain. Pulled some weeds out of patch tonight and applied 40% milk solution in attempt to prevent PM. Bubba helped out in the patch tonight. Asked a lot of "Why?" questions when I told him what I was doing (Sure sign of a competent future grower!) Sprayed Liquid Fence around the perimeter of the patch tonight also.
