Hey gardening gang! We're
growing cucumbers & gourds up an old step ladder. It looks beautiful (especially in the early morning when the gourds are blooming)! I did not thin the
seedlings. I didn't fertilize @ all, other than compost & cow manure. We're harvesting cucumbers (they're delicious, of course) & we have 3-5 gourds
growing (slowly, but
growing).
I've noticed some of the leaves of the cucumber plants are turning brown/dying. I've also noticed white powdery spots on the gourd leaves. What is it? It seems to be starting @ the bottom & working it's way up. We have it covered w/newspaper & then straw on top (no
weeds for us!).
Thanks for the advise!!
Sarah
