Re: family/work vs. pumpkin

Hey Steve.  I just got back from his sports thing and it's too dark to spray.  

Question for ya'll ... can I mix Monty's Joy Juice with Neptune's Harvest and feed the patch all at once or do I have to do it separately?  This will be the first time I'm using Monty's.

Also, can I spray a garlic barrier and Sevin together?  I think I saw a cuke beetle flying around today.  Is there concern for spraying at night since it is so damp?  Thought I read somewhere that it isn't recommended, but that is the only time the bees are not active.  How about 'protecting' the pumpkin at night with high dampness?
