Hay bales? Sounds like you're planting in the hay bales, Jean? What's the scoop on that?
Good luck with your cukes, I can't grow them down here as either powdery mildew kills them or the pickleworms eat them up before they bear. I'm just not diligent enough with the Bt and baking soda sprays. Anybody else have more luck with cukes, squash or melons? I even tried covering my crooknecks with netting last year, but of course then they didn't get pollenated, and the powdery mildew still got them.
