Re-treating powdery mildew

So after the baking soda treatment burned our squashes afflicted with powder mildew, we researched some alternatives. We decided to try a 20% mixture of milk and water.

There wasn't an immediate effect like with the baking soda, but some of the treated plants are looking better. We're going to have to retreat pretty frequently, but so far, it looks good.

The first of our bounty

So poor little Seymore the Squash didn't really make it too long. The plants have really been overtaken by fungus, but we did manage to rescue this teeny little squash. He's not very big, but we've added him to the fall decorations on the dining table. We might cook him up and get a couple of spoonfuls of mashed butternut, but atleast we have something (however tiny) to show for our work.
