The squash bugs really did a number on our plants again this year, so our harvests have been pitiful once again even though we got on the bugs quicker they are still struggling. We'll get enough but we'll do heavier treatment after the full harvest to see if we can't get rid of all those bugs. I wonder if we imported them in some purchased plants and didn't realize they were there. I read treating with Sevin can be helpful, so we'll try that.
Our Mexican sour gherkins have really gone crazy in our greenhouse. We cut them half to add to our salads or just for snacking while harvesting other things. only 4 Armenian cuke plants but they too have gone crazy in the GH and are producing well. We shared some with the neighbor and made up 3 jars of refrigerated dill pickle spears just this morning. (easy recipe if you'd like to try them is attached)
The pumpkins I started and planted 3 plants, but the stupid magpie birds pulled one out that we lost. But we've only set one pumpkin thus far and too late for setting many more - we grow them for their seeds mostly, maybe a little carving for Halloween as well.
