Ok gang. At what point do you dismember a family member when they tell you the day before that there is a fall sports assembly for a nephew and you were planning on spraying for bugs that night? Given my work schedule and the shorter days, I am limited in my time spent in patch. I am watering at 5 a.m. today (while it is still dark) and was hoping to spray Sevin tonight. By the time I get home after said sports event, it will again be too dark to spray. That will push me back to Friday night (since I work tomorrow night). At least I can fert. tomorrow morning.
Should I be picking all male flowers? I have had to cut away some yellow leaves by the stumps. Is that a good idea? Guess based on the posts I need to be pruning the tertiary vines.
