We missed the big storm again. just got a little rain. We had 2 females open on secondaries on the 288 and 1579. Bugs gad gotten to them, but I added pollen and left the flowers open. They will just be backups. We are supposed to have at least 9 days of nice pollination weather, but the striped cuke beetles are coming on strong. They get sprayed this evening. I was concerned yesterday afternoon when I saw the neighbor spraying a patch of thistles. But the wind had calmed down, the spray nozzles were down in the weeds, I didn't smell any 2-4-D, and we got the rain. So I'm not worried about any chemical damage.
