Well, sprayed all my zucchini and Squash with the Neem Oil again. Just finished. It is cool today, not even 80 so I was able to do the spraying much earlier in the day than I do in the hot summer weather. If it's hot, I wait till the sun starts going down.

I have to do this to keep up with the Powdery Mildew problems. Gosh these darn summer squashes are so prone to getting mildew. Even the young replacement plants I have coming along are already getting some mildew. I can't image what the plants would be like if I didn't spray.

Plus the mildew control, the Neem is also good to kill any pest eggs that might be laid on the plants. I am hoping SVB season is over but you never know.

The big zucchini plants (Cavelli and Elite) are looking pretty ratty. The Golden Egg Summer squash not as ratty. I have those Caserta plants that are showing small will be flower buds and will be zucs. And the Green Tiger started later is getting some size on the plants. So squash and zucchini season is not over around here.

Not even 5 PM and I actually got all my planned garden work done today. What a shocker!
