What did you do in the garden today?

[Wee Farmer Sarah]

How can I deal with the late blight on my tomatoes? Only a couple are affected right now but I’ve been cutting off any affected parts I see but it isn’t making any difference.

Sometimes magnesium will help. I use epsom salts and it does seem to help.

It isn’t pretty but I made (sorta) this to help keep my seeds more organized View attachment 4198688

Nice

Another hot day ahead. Rain now. Will heat up and steam us. Beagle keeps rabbits away from garden. Tomatoes not very productive.

I got a female blossom on one of my melon plants! I attempted to hand-pollinate with a Q-tip - there’s been a fair amount of bee activity around those plants but I’m paranoid and impatient. I’m new to growing melons, how long will it take to see if it ‘took’ and form a proper melon if it did? It’s a cantaloupe/muskmelon.

Squash is still looking sickly, I fertilized it again. Right now I’m not holding high hopes that it does anything this year though.

Within a couple of days it will start to shrivel if not pollinated. Hope you get a big melon to enjoy!
