Caught up on vine burying yesterday. Cut off secondary and leaf at both 1908's. Photo is the 1908 in the east patch. Added a little extra phosphate and starting using the 12-12-12 in my bury mix. Not much just a little. Plants are growing nicely. I held of watering Friday and Saturday because of expected rain. It rained 1.5 " Saturday night. Also, saw a few cucumber beetles for the first time this year. There amount 3 weeks late I think. Anyway, gave the plants a dose of Sevin to kill them off. I'll check and see how that worked at noon today. I applied it Saturday morning so the rain probably washed most of it off, but it probably killed what was there. Pumpkins on both 1908 plants are about the same size now. I'll probably start measuring in about 10 days or so. I'll be putting some sand under them today or tomorrow. The150 sf patch is doing well but needs some burying and pruning. I have two pollinated on it. I plan to pick the last pollination since it's in a better location. The plant in the 150 is the 2154 Sperry and is doing well.
