I kind of neglected my garden while feeling so sick for this past week.
Garden rambles
Yesterday I went out and watered because everything was wilting and noticed the powdery mildew was really on the jack be little pumpkin leaves. Today I went out and they’re full of aphids I don’t have the energy to wipe off. I’m still feeling pretty sick.
They look healthy still but I’m learning a lot for next go round. (With how much I need next time I should choose concentrates and combine the organic pesticide and fungicide into the same solution for efficiency.)
There’s a fruit shriveling because I didn’t pollinate it and a recently closed female flower I could still probably get pollen into, but I’m wondering if I should let the plants concentrate on maturing the fruits that are already set and growing. The weather is still warm but I don’t know what to expect.
Feeling sad af. When starting all this I envisioned a bumper crop of zucchini to share out (as people always complain of them going wild) but it seems my space and energy limitations mean a lower yield.
With help I managed to sort out a dental appointment for May but that’s still a month away so I cadged another week of antibiotics from the gp to try and hold me. Worried about the wait tbh.
