cool morning

overcast and cool this morning made for a perfect walk in the gardens. The tomatoes are doing well, albeit still need more staking and pruning. Almost all varieties are producing various sizes of tomatoes. I am thinking about taking leaves off so the plant devotes more energy to production, however this is still being debated. Anyone with thoughts on this strategy please by all means comment. The pumpkins are coming along nicely. Lots and lots of honey bees doing a great job pollinating about 300 flowers in total. The stink bug war carries on. At this point We have them suppressed to approximately 4 clusters. We seem to have a new insurgence of vine borers as evidenced by small droplets of pumpkin sap on the ends of some vines. No clue what to do about them. Trying to keep from using chemicals, but if it is a must then it is a must. Here are some pictures from this morning. Please enjoy and PLEASE comment/share/like/+1/post everywhere/tell your siblings, etc etc. Thank you! MLGardens ( www.facebook.com/mlgardens ) mlgardenfarms@gmail.com
