Increase in plant fungus diseases
Leif has a new article posted in the library. Here’s the first paragraph:
If some of your warm season crops such as squash, cucumbers, zucchini and pumpkins were lost to root rot during the prolonged cool wet spell the last three weeks of May, make a new mound of fresh soil not far from the first attempt and re-plant. If you are able to use a variety with a shorter number of days to maturity, it could be advantageous, but there is still a good chance that normal maturity varieties will give full production if planted in the next few days.
Leif’s articles appear in the Wednesday edition of the Northfield News, in the Farm and Garden section, just behind the sports page. All his previous articles are archived in our web library, going back to 2001.
