Calhoun County, AL – Alabama Extension is holding a watermelon/cucurbit meeting on Tuesday, August 8th, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm, in the Extension Auditorium, 1702 Noble Street, Anniston. Cucurbit crops are the vining plants in the garden, including cucumber, squash, zucchini, pumpkin, cantaloupe, and watermelon. The topics discussed at this cucurbit meeting include variety selection, cucurbit disease identification, and cucurbit insect identification.
