my friend charlie plants pumpkins on july1
smart man that charlie as the vine borer is around but the pumpkins aren't up yet.
(although in this heat maybe they are)
i saw my first adult squash vine borer moth yesterday
so today we wash the squash plants carefully......... and we also replant them today
from now on we plant cucubits after 4th of july and use hot caps if we need them to extend the season.
i am going to reseed the spaghetti squash and the patty pans but i think that the butternut and the climbing zukes will be ok........ i can reseed them too if i have to though
maybe i'll put in a san pasquale zuke too...... or a pumpkin?
i am going to reseed the cuc's just for good measure. i put in boston pickling just in case and i think maybe i will do the other three varieties
the weather here has been brutal, 102 more or less
it's 5am and it's like 78 or 79 degrees out even now
the babies are loving it but i am stewing in my own juices
i worry about bernie at work
