Thank goodness the last week has been cool (80's) and low humidity. My plants weren't liking the 90's and high humidity we were having. My cucumber have spots all over the leaves, but they are still bearing. Some of my bush beans have rust (or that's what I think it is), but the others are fine and still bearing heavily. Peppers are still good. The 3 tomatoes are looking a little ragged at the bottom, but I may give out before they do!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-43806641632511316752008-08-11T12:39:00.000-05:002008-08-11T12:39:00.000-05:00Bonnie - you're right, it's a lot like reality tv....Bonnie - you're right, it's a lot like reality tv. Or gawkers at a wreck on the highway! Just can't stop looking. I gave up on squash years ago. Can't stand the heartache of those borers gnawing through my precious veggies. Good luck with the eggplant.<BR/><BR/>Robin - That sounds tough. But once you've made the investment you just can't sit and let it die. I'm hoping we have an early Fall to make up for the extra month of summer!Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681758051433522246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-76819144153600607742008-08-11T11:11:00.000-05:002008-08-11T11:11:00.000-05:00I'm losing some of my favorites: my agapanthus tha...I'm losing some of my favorites: my agapanthus that looks so pretty in early summer, and a decades old Fatsia aren't happy at all. This spring I did a lot of new landscaping, and all of it is suffering but I'm managing to keep it alive because I spent thousands on it. It's pretty discouraging.<BR/>Robin at Getting GroundedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7327638960016684551.post-65065277757893684052008-08-11T10:09:00.000-05:002008-08-11T10:09:00.000-05:00I love it, it's like a reality TV show where it ge...I love it, it's like a reality TV show where it gets so ugly but you just can't turn away. I pulled my pickling cucumber this morning. Not one fruit all summer and I was having to fight too hard to keep the mites off. So out it comes. And another squash bit the dust. Eggplant on the other hand look awesome!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029244567686979589noreply@blogger.com
