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.
