The Garden is Dying

I am not sure what happened to this habanero plant. It was good one day and dead the next. I think it got root rot.



The powdery mildew killed the cantaloupe plant right away.


Powdery mildew has killed most of the garden now, including the tomatoes and peppers. Lessons learned about the type of support system used for the tomatoes. This is good to keep the tomatoes from falling forward or backward but they will fall downward or sideways. I also had five plants in this 5 foot rectangle box which made it too crowded. I suspect overcrowding helped to kill them.

August Garden Bed

The garden is not doing so good. The squash and zucchini plants started off with powdery mildew. I ordered every product I could fine and tried every remedy online and nothing would get rid of it. It then quickly spread to the cucumbers, green beans, watermelon, and cantaloupe.


Damn powdery mildew. The watermelon and cantaloupe did not even get to full size before the mildew got them.
