The rain ruined my summer squash. Had to get rid of about 10 that turned to mush. Peppers and eggplant seem fine. Some of my tomatoes split but they were still ok to eat if not really pretty.
“The rain ruined my summer squash. Had to get rid of about 10 that turned to mush.”
Before I started learning about growing plants this year, I did not know squash was so difficult to grow. If it isn’t various bugs, it’s too much rain. I’ll swear none of that happened years ago when my parents grew squash because we had it to eat all the time. If they had trouble, I never heard about it.
I have that new seed now and I’ll try a few seeds of that, starting them in late August I think, just to see if I can grow them then and to see if growing in a container with net over them will defeat the moths/borers. Normally, we don’t have cold weather until after December. This year, we’ll probably had a deep freeze in September which has never happened.
