Cucumbers continue to be harvested in good numbers and quality. Pickle harvest has also begun this week. The first melons of the season have been harvested this week. Size and quality will improve in the next week. Pumpkins continue to develop vines with the first fruit set this week.
Squash bugs are busy laying eggs and watching their young feed on plants.
I have not seen any diseases on this crop yet this season. Sweet corn harvest is picking up steam. Warmer nights are needed to move this crop along. Corn borer traps averaged less than two moths per trap this week indicating the second generation may be starting in our area. A lot of rust has appeared in corn over the last two weeks, even very young corn.
