Lost a secondary on the to a vine borer. It got in right next to the main, between the stump and pumpkin. I hope it didn't get into the main. First SVB damage in years. Our main vine hopeful and a secondary on the 748 aborted, leaving us with a deformed, rabbit damaged wheel. Our only hope for the 1579 is a bee pollinated fruit on a secondary. I'm not sure if the main vine pollination on the 1047.5 will take off and grow, and I broke the stem on a secondary set while repositioning it. At least we didn't get drenched, blown away or dried up like some other growers. It has been a tough season so far.
