Today's dinner plans had to change. The collard greens are all bug eaten and the squash, most of it, has wet or end rot. I will have to research on a way to treat the collards next year, so they are not bug eaten. As for the squash, we are treating it with a milk/water solution, and will continue to do that once a week. If it works well, I'll be sure to post an update.
I'm heading back out to remove all the fungus/mold pieces in an attempt to save the garden.
Now I know what the pioneers felt like when they lost a crop to nature. I wonder what the calcium levels were in the ground back in the 1800's? Did they have this problem? Our soil today lacks many vital ingredients to a healthy garden.
