Morning all. Nice & cool out there, sat outside & drank my tea this am. Took a walk thru the garden, I need to get back out there & pick some peppers, beans & sungolds. Wow did some spider have a busy night, I walked thru like 5 webs walking around. Nothing like a web in your face!
So get this - my girls have ZERO street smarts. That's a hawk sitting on the post. He flew in to grab a chicken, pulled up at the last second because of the netting & then hopped from post to post trying to figure a way in. My dummies followed him around instead of bolting.

A different kind of dahlia:
My friend sent some jibbits for my garden crocs :

Believe it or not, I've had my best luck with Listerine! I've used Neem oil or a mix of 1 part milk to 2 parts water also. Oh & copper fungicide too, but I prefer something a little less harsh.Does anyone know how to prevent or treat powdery mildew?. My squash and melons this years were a crapshoot with the mildew.
It's so crazy, you got none this summer & I have left the spigot on my rain barrel open all summer because we've had so much I don't need to collect it!my rain collectors are about full already
