Yes, let’s all pray that TEOTWAWKI doesn’t happen in the middle of a drought & heat wave!
If I were a Hebrew, and dependent on my crops, I’d have to move to Egypt for a few years. LOL

No yellows, oranges or reds this year; just green or brown--and now white.

I have same problem w/ cucumbers. I think it’s bacterial wilt that I get. Not a huge deal as neither my DH nor I really eat them, but my dog is CRAZY for them, so much so that I use them for his training treats :-)
I put a few acorn squash in the garden this year but I don’t remember variety. My first time planting them, too. I usu. go for culinary pumpkins but decided to grow squashes requiring less space. My acorns seemed a bit smallish. I get powdery mildew here every year but it never does any vine damage until late enough in the season so that it isn’t much of a concern.
Happy gardening :-)

It’s out in my pickup and it just turned Dark O Thirty here so I will have a answer for you tomorrow. It was one of the last models with a View Finder.

We’ve been dehydrating and vacuum-sealing everything in sight since our Excalibur arrived. It’s my new favorite toy. Today we did vanilla yogurt chips.

I’d like to thank you for the excellent photo you posted it makes fine wallpaper on my monitor.
You captured the sprinkling water beautifully.

What model of Canon camera did you use? It is a Canon Power Shot A1200 and is about a year old.

I've had a bumper crop of okra and various peppers this year, but tomatoes are another story. I had several fruit on my Black Krim plants in June, and that was it. All the other tomato plants show signs of herbicide poisoning. We think that it's from the manure we get from a local horse ranch. What is confusing is that no other plants are affected by this manure, only the tomato's. I've gone as far as replanting tomatoes in fresh soil with standard fertilizer. Anyone know of a method to flush the herbicide out of the soil?
On a separate note, carrots, onion, cabbage, lettuce, and radish are growing real nice since we had a good rain last week.

Lots of water to help dilute it from the soil?

Flushing the soil in the pots didn’t work, and I even added fresh soil at a 1/1 ratio to dilute the herbicide, but the plants are still affected. My next step is to empty out the pots and start over.

Tomatoes are a mystery to me also. I usually plant a bunch of tomatoes in pots of fresh dirt (cheap topsoil from Walmart) which often does better than the ones planted in the ground.
I am dreaming of attaching a green house/sunroom to my house on the lower back patio. That way I can get up from the computer, walk straight out the basement patio doors right into the sunroom in the winter and harvest some pesticide free produce. It’s a good dream, but a long way from happening.LOL

At a reunion in the Shenandoah Valley this weekend and this is the view ...... To make this Garden Thread related, the trees within the fenced area on the right are an old apple orchard. The leaves aren't turning around here quite yet, just a few trees showing color, with maples showing the most.
