“Mommy’s going to be on the radio today. Do you want to listen with me or watch a show?”
“Show.”
They keep it real.
Which is why I’m going to blast from the rooftops that THE MILK WORKED! Success! Pinterest did not fail me! This does not make up for the other 1,934 times that it did, but WHO’S COUNTING!
Last week I spotted the dreaded powdery mildew creeping onto my zucchini plants.
I actually had the wherewithal to snap a picture this year. This is in direct contrast to last year, when I ran around screaming like Atlanta was on fire.
{In case you’re new to powdery mildew, it happens when it’s muggy and hotter than three hottts, which it is here right now.} {And did you see what I did there? There with the t’s…get it…I put three of the…whatever…}
When it happened last summer I did not catch it in time. And it took over. That narcissistic mildew rotted out my squash, zucchini, and butternut squash. According to Pinterest, the home remedy is a mixture of 1/3 milk to 2/3 parts water sprayed on all the leaves. {After removing affected leaves and throwing them away, of course.} So I did it myself last week, and the plants looked better the next day.
And then I decided why do it again myself when I can force the day laborers to do it?
This one actually did it with a happy heart.
Maybe he should give some pointers to a couple of the others…
So, as it turns out, milk is good for zucchini AND kids, therefore zucchini must be good for kids!
Is my enthusiasm working for you!
Because, when it comes to zucchini, it’s not quite working on my own two!
