My cucumbers are not going so well.... they have the dreaded powdery mildew fungus. I have just been milk spraying at the moment but with no luck. I was searching for home remedies as I dont like using chemicals at all, & the withholding periods really put me off..... All up I think we have had at least 40 or so cukes off my tiny bath tub cucumber patch in around 2 weeks, not a bad run I figured!
I had resorted myself to the fact the cukes would eventually succum and die off, to be honest I am blaming myself, having planted 15 or so seedlings into the bathtub patch (Yes, I now know better- do not over croud your cucurbits!)

However today another lovely gardener form the oz grow forums suggested a home made bi-carb remedy to me. I will try the bi-carb spray and see how they go- hopefully they can still be saved, fingers crossed!
I am also watching my new pumpkin seedlings with a very close eye, so if the bi-carb spray doesn’t save my cukes it may well come in handy to save the pumpkins!
