Roof Garden Photos

OK, since the last time I attempted to post photos on here it was a disaster (with HUGE pictures that I couldn't figure out how to shrink down), I'm just going to give everyone links to the photos on my FaceBook profile. Here are the links!

Hopefully those links will work. If not, feel free to friend me over there. I'll friend you back and then you can see them.

These were pre-heatwave, but the plants look even better now. I water them every day at least once. The squash and melons in particular look much better, since this was taken while they still had powdery mildew issues and we've resolved that.

It is indeed a white powder on the leaves. We got rid of it by buying something called Neem. You mix the Neem with water to dilute it, then spray the leaves, both top and bottom, thoroughly in a long and arduous process that I did not partake in. *grin* But it works. The Neem changes the PH level on the leaves to something the powdery mildew doesn't like. And Neem is supposedly completely natural, not a fungicide or anything.

There's also something you can do with baking soda, but we never got that to work. (We tried that first.)
