Ugh, Powdery Mildew

If it’s not one thing, it’s another.

After this week’s wind wreaking havoc on the corn and beans, the appearance of mites on the tomatoes, and the general drama of will they- won’t they even sprout up, I have discovered what looks like powdery mildew on the cucumbers.

I can’t be too sure that’s what’s going on here but it doesn’t look good.

As I mentioned, I didn’t thin these puppies out and I’m glad I haven’t yet what with the wind and now this.

My cucumber-y notes from a great YouTube video I watched the other day say to use baking soda, 1 tablespoon per gallon. Which is great because I already have that in my pantry. What I don’t have is a way to spray it on. My watering can is of the spout variety.

So to the store I go.
