>>2192171Also here are my garden pumpkin plants. Starting to get a bit crowded in there. Thankfully squash bugs have been to a minimum here, and aphids are mostly under control. My only big worry right now is the mildew, though it's moving pretty slowly as I stay on top of it. Also a new challenger appears. Past couple of days a crowd of caterpillars have made their way in and started munching on the leaves (on any and everything in the garden, actually). 95% sure they're butterfly caterpillars, as there's hundreds of them out in the fields sucking on the alfalfa. I don't mind, I'm letting them live. They're just having a lil snack, and they're mostly feeding on the leaves that are already infected with the mildew anyways, so it's not like it matters that much.
We'll see what happens. Still awaiting those female flowers, tho...
