The last zucchini for a bit

Why will it be the last? Well my plants got a bad case of powdery mildew. I read that milk can be used to combat the mildew. So I first cut off all the affected leaves, and then gave the rest (the few that are left!) a spray with a 1:1 milk and water solution. We’ll see how they do over the next few days. If it seems to have worked, I’ll make up a weaker milk solution and keep spraying them as prevention.

They look so sad now:

And no more watering with the sprinkler!
