It rained again last night with more in the forecast for tonight.I will put off sprinkling the pumpkins today, just rely on shade tarps and white sheets. It is supposed to be cooler today, just 81 with heat index of 107.. It was Big Stem application #2 today for the 1444, 1818.5 and 1965. I did use just a little on the 962.5. The stump quit oozing, it just looked like some old age cracks. Hopefully the Big Stem helps control the pressure. And I painted on some Daconil. I handle all of the chemical application, no sense having a young guy like Jacob get exposed to chemicals when there is an old guy like me to do it. He makes up by doing some of the heavy chores that are too much for my arthritic joints.
