The zuccini is producing! We were worried that the powdery mildew would wipe it out.
Good Vegetables and Learning about Powdery Mildew
Wednesday, July 8, 2009
We have now enjoyed cucumbers, more eggplants and a few cherry tomatoes from the garden. It continues to grow rapidly with the help of some rain and regular watering by Shaquan, Darren, and Larry. Thanks to Karol Kelley, Bibb County Extension Agent, and Phillip, Master Gardener, we were able to diagnose powdery mildew on the zuccini. Ellen researched online and discovered this could be treated organically with a mixture of one part skim milk and eight parts water. I mixed up a good amount of this and Shaquan and Larry sprayed today. Since the zuccini seems to have been getting too much moisture, Shaquan and I had removed the hay mulch on Tuesday. We have also removed affected leaves and carried them away from the garden. We're learning more every day about the life of the vegetable gardener! Tomorrow morning, Jane Jordan and I will weed and work on staking the overladen tomato plants and hopefully neighbor Kay Gerhardt will join us. Soon we should a large enough harvest to share with many.
