So far this year has been as depressing as it can get. Cold spring, late frost, high winds, then hot and dry and windy. All of that set me back by 2-4 weeks plus I lost a couple of my "better" plants. I then received two days of continuous rain which has drowned out about 25% of my garden. Then it was the attack of the cucumber beetles - and it was like a bad B movie. It seemed like overnight it went from the odd one to hundreds. They wiped out my zucchini's and made a serious dent on the AG's. After several rounds of spraying they seem to be under control but....... you knew there would be a but, several of my AG have something seriously wrong with them. I will post a picture on Monday but the growth is now all vine with very little leaf development (any ideas anyone). I'm not sure if it has to do with the beetles transmitting something or the spray I used. I do have one plant that is OK so far but...... it started out as a flat vine which after about 7 feet has split into two normal vines. Man, I'm starting to know how Blkcloud feels.
Here's hoping for a warm September.
