A journal of my home vegetable garden. Skippy thinks it's his garden, but I've been gardening here for 20 years. We're located near Boston (USDA zone 6). I have a big community garden plot and a small plot in my yard. I try to grow all of my family's vegetables using sustainable organic methods.
What a humid summer!
My apples have fungi too. Black mildew on the fruits. The good news is that it washes right off. I picked all my apples today (a bit early) and they washed up perfectly.
Tomato fruits and squash leaves have mildew too.

Yup. Tuesday and Wednesday I see no photographs at all. ?? Especially excited to see fungal photographs!

I see the photographs - and they make me nervous. I think we have enough breezes on our hill to keep fungus at bay. Of course, I think you got a lot more rain at your end of the state.

Hope the storm coming your way does little to you, your neighbors and all on the east coast. Nick from Central California.
