It would be a shame to lose any of your vine crops now! George wants you to have the information you need to protect them from the downy mildew that is now in our area as well as from vine borers which are always a problem.
See you soon!

"He had been eight years upon a project for extracting
sunbeams out of cucumbers, which were to be put into
vials hermetically sealed, and let out to warm the air in
raw, inclement summers."

Downy mildew is devastating to cucumber, melon and squash vines. Infected vines die quickly once infected. Protect your vines with Fertilome Broad Spectrum Fungicide. To protect against squash vine borers mix Spinosad into the fungicide spray and apply every 10 - 14 days.
