July 19th - Bessie Takes a Bath

Bessie now is 241 pounds of pumpkin. That's a whole lotta girl to love. But is that powdery mildew on the leaves? It looks like it to me, white powdery stuff. That is very bad news if you are a pumpkin plant.


The bath water is one part fungicide, one part insecticide, two parts fertilizer.

It may not get the vine borers, but it sure knocked out the swarms of mosquitoes!
