I currently have zucchini and tomatoes blooming in my garden. I also have some dill and green onions that are in bloom because they are going to seed.
My most prolific squash plant is now battling powdery mildew, I've pruned but I'm afraid there won't be enough leaves left if I prune ALL affected leaves. Did the milk spray last night... anyone tried the baking soda spray as a curative.... not a preventative.
quick question about Rose of Sharon,
I have 4 of them in the backyard, they're been pruned into a single trunk tree and they are all doing great.
Im noticing some new branches on the trunks and want to know if it's ok to prune them off now?
I like the tree look for Rose of Sharon and don't want them to become bushes, but don't want to shock the tree's if i start pruning now?
Anyone have any experience with this?
How come I can never see your pictures????Quote:

Nice lavender, harbie. Wished it would overwinter in my climate. What happened to the foliage on your tomato plant?
Here's a couple of daylilies Mauna Loa (the orange one) and El Desperado and a hollyhock blooming right now.
Raining now...will help everyone`s gardens!

Close-up.. very difficult taking these two pictures - it's planted against the fence and it looks into the neighbour's yard :)
