A current dome shot with the 505 fruit in the lower right. Things still looking great, although the insects are ramping up the pressure. I have sprayed neem oil on the Speckled Swan gourd just outside the dome that has several hundred cucumber beetles on it. It has broken up the party a bit but needs to be sprayed again. A handful of cuke beetles are getting in to the dome as well as the occasional squash bug, but I am up to the task. I am the most voracious predator my enemies have ever seen, if I do say so myself! I imagine in their insect homes and communities they hang pictures of me warning of the danger of crossing my path. They tell stories to their larvae about the huge and hideous two-legged creature that comes from out of nowhere to indiscriminately kill everything in its path. BEWARE, YOU BASTARDS, I AM COMING FOR YOU!!!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
