Squash stem root rot
 

sucks . There is apparently no cure , just yank 'em and toss 'em in the fire
.. Lost a zuke , a cuke , and maybe another cucumber and one of my straight
neck squashes .
And my tomatoes have aphids . Ain't life grand ?

I'm generally lucky with aphids. I guess I have enough bug eaters
around. However my tomatoes have leaf spot, and it took me at least
a week longer than it should have to realize that. I'm hoping that
they get enough new growth to make up for the doomed leaves.

I managed to put somewhat of a hurt on the aphids . I used 10 tsp of a mix
that consisted of 1 bar ivory dissolved in 1 qt water with a couple of
teaspoons of cayenne pepper steeped in hot water . Helped a lot , but
anywhere I missed soaking the underside of the leaves there are still a few
.. The root rot has apparently died out , at least for now . I ended up
losing 2 cucumbers , 1 zucchini and an acorn squash .
