I am debating if I should hold off on this weeks drench. The weather is turning much cooler next week with highs in the low 60's. I am concerned this will lead to very fragile growth that may not be healthy when it turns warmer later in the month.
Over all the plants look healthy. They have just laid down and are a healthy dark green.

Opinions ???

I'm holding off on any watering or spraying for the next few days since my patch received about 2" of rain yesterday. I'll wait for the patch to dry out a bit and apply a foliar spray in a few days. I likely won't be drenching or watering for about a week, as the weather man is calling for a week of rain.

remember, "when it rains it spores" so, once this rainy spell has passed get a good fungicide spray on those plants. at that time we will also do another spray for beetles and borers.
time to get that "kill um all let god sort um out " t-shirt on.
but--- when ever possible ? do it late evening so we dont harm those bees.
