Spaghetti Squash Update

Don't be fooled by my Bee illustration above, a real
one is located underneath the illustration but only out
of focus and looking a lot worse than intended.

I tried to capture this busy bee who had all of these
blooms to visit, to show what a fortunate bee this must be.
Just weeks ago I had hundreds if not thousands of bees
in close proximity. I think if they stuck around these here
blooms would have been a great practice for the new bees...hint
hint.

Couldn't help wonder if this bee might have been left behind when
our colony of bees decided to move on.

Powdery Mildew is rearing it's ugly spottiness. Started to spray with a
watered down powdered milk in hopes to keepin it from getting much worse.
This is the first time using milk and it smells good, well like milk. I was
directed to spray this when the sun is out and didn't have any adverse
consequences.   The sun doesn't burn off the dew until after ten in the
morning which doesn't help matters along with the fact that this plant in
general is prone to powdery mildew. Needless to say not watering the leaves
will help to.

What's gardening without it's challenges.
