Bored

It feels like my garden has suffered from every disease and pest known to gardening. I spent the morning removing leaves that have powdery mildew. I couldn't figure out why some plants had it and others didn't. Then I discovered that my squash and pumpkins are infested with borers. The ones with the borers were the ones with powdery mildew. So even though I should have spent the afternoon working on my boat, I spent it operating. I sliced open the infected plants, pulled out the borers and sterilized the incisions. I also harvested the immature spaghetti squash and pumpkins and one summer squash. Time will tell if the plants recover and I get any more.
