Let us know if you get any squash from it it’s a really good looking plant !!! Congrats ;)

It looks like a squash plant to me . The big long stemmed flowers are male flowers soon you will see some that look like the picture I added below and that will grow into a squash if it’s pollinated .

They are very young only 3 true leaves . We just watered so the soil is damp but dries well during he day . There’s been really high humidity I guess that could be causing it but it’s not something on the leaves the brown spots are almost see trough they are so thin .

I’ve got a new type of watermelon called jubilee and several of my seedlings have this on the leaves anybody know what it is ?

Ok I found the ant hill surrounded it with DE and put GOBBS off Vaseline on the main stream and the teen that horse to the okra pods so far so good ! Keeping my fingers crossed .

Thanks for all the suggestions I’m gunna get to work I’ll let y’all know how it goes!

@Ridgerunner l already contacted the extension office he said he’s had problems with ants and okra also he’s the one that suggested the DE. I looked in the morning at night with a flash light couldn’t find any thing other than ants on the okra they pile up in little like feeding frenzies then...

I tried the DE it didn’t work . @flowerbug what kind of hoppy concoction ? I’ll try anything. I originally thought aphids to but there aren’t any the ants just attack the okra and the flowers they have killed every single one !

I had such beautiful okra ! Then the ants came little black ants from HE!! ;( they are holes right trough them ! Has anybody else had this issue this year ?

@baymule how do I put my location on my avatar ? I’m assuming avatar is my account or username ??? I’m terrible at this

We live in east Texas the Soil is sandy loamy I’m told but we mixed garden soil in with it when we tilled . The zucchini should have plenty of ventilation there’s nothing blocking the breeze or anything . They get direct sunlight about 7-8 hours a day but are partly shaded between 12-2 by a...

I did mulch last week after you suggested it . I put mulch in the whole garden .

I can’t help with the rot I’ve had the same problem . The mildew on the other hand I had everywhere I mixed a solution of 1 gallon of water 2 tablespoons of baking soda and half a teaspoons of dish soap sprayed it all over the leaves and within 2 days it was all gone .

I feel like my garden went haywire in a week ;(. I’ve posted pictures below I found some kind of mold I’ve never seen on my zucchini this morning . Then weird yellow spots on the leaves of my pumpkin plant ! Then 5 million ants on my okra . And suggestions ?
