Pictureless, though FF's pumpkin is much fatter today. I had to suit up, bought a brand new sprayer for the task, and mixed the chemicals the way VTJon told me to, and went around and sprayed club member's patches. The club bought the chemicals and the members are paying for the spraying for cost of chemicals this year. One patch, one small vine, the SVB crawled up the leaf and I smushed her d*mn*d little rear with my rubber chemical glove. Then got a small paring knife and removed her two contributions. PRICELESS, oh yeah! Disgusting, yes they have our address. Our official day is now the 10th so next year a potluck and round robin trip to go do everyone's patch (one mix gluck and everyone does their own spray)on the 8th. I sprayed too close to dark, morning means I get to see what's left of my three AND look for signs of SVB's. I hope I didn't just toast them, they are ALL looking so nice.... sigh...
