August 27 - ovecast most of today

We had a hot weekend and then today it was mostly overcast. My pumpkin is 60" in circumference. At this rate I'm going to have to tape 2 tape measures together to keep measuring.

I've noticed that the little yellow beetle with dark spots that are all over my string beans and tomatoes in the front yard are now in the backyard and are on the pumpkin and basil now. Hopefully the pumpkin survives.

I have the same beetles! Just saw them at lunch. Not sure what they are but I bet they aren't good.
