Rain just won't quit. It had been real light until Friday when it really poured down. This is where the sand subsoil in the garden really helps, The bad spots n the 1442 Caspers scabbed over but a couple more showed up. I don't know if it will make it to Bloomfield, But we will have field pumpkins, watermelons, long gourds and at least 1 bushel gourd for next Saturday. The long gourds in the plastic rain gutters seem to be doing OK. They got a little scratched up but that will heal over, and they are staying straight. I hope they will make at least 120" by October 5. The cucumber beetles are going crazy, will have to be sprayed again once the weather dries out.
