RE: Final Tally, #foodfightfriday
Amazing garden you have there! What a great variety of foods and herbs. I had the same problem with the zucchini plants years ago and would love to hear more about the baking soda and vinegar solution as @idig and i have some zucchini plants sprouting up right now. Also what is your secret for the root vegetables, i tried carrots before with not much to harvest and the few ones i got were really bitter. Anyways again awesome garden, and super cool post! Happy Farming! :)
Thanks for the wonderful compliment.
Fungi such as powdery mildew, can be halted with a simple solution of 2 tablespoons of Baking Soda and 2 tablespoons of Hydrogen Peroxide/gallon of water. Use this solution in a gallon spray bottle and the powdery mildew can no longer thrive on the leaf of the plants, due to this slightly acidic environment.
This is a great solution for this problem.
Here is a link to a blog that @dandays did 4 months ago. If you feel like it, in one of my replies to him is a list of some other solutions and ideas on organic gardening.

We've had a lot of luck with carrots by making sure the soil is as loamy as can be, and by keeping a heavy layer of mulch between the rows of the green carrot tops.
Good luck with your veggies, and however we can be of help, just give us a shout, @cleopatra54
