I’ve been working quite hard to get rid of a bad case of powdery mildew on my squash plants when I noticed these little bugs the other day. Can anyone tell me what they are, how much damage they might cause and if I should do something to get rid of them? Thanks so much.
I think I have a pretty severe powdery mildew affecting my tomato’s and squash. Is there anything I can do to treat it without harming the plants? It has gotten worse on the squash since those photos were taken and many leaves are yellow or brown and dead.
I’m looking to get some advice from people who know Ford or have maybe dealt with something similar.
We just bought a certified preowned ford blue advantage 2023 premium ER mache that is the same specs as the lease we have to turn in at the end of the month. Because the market value is less than our lease buyout price, we thought this was the smart thing to do. We bought it for about $3k less than our lease buyout.
When we went to see it, it had 3 door ding dents that were not visible from the ad, and they agreed to fix those for us if we bought on that day, but it took them a whole week, so that used 7 days of our 14 day money back guarantee that comes with CPOs. The breaks were also screeching loud on the test drive, which they initially apologized profusely for and then service said was just rust build up on the breaks that would go away.
We picked it up just the other day and on the way home, we found that the camera for the lane assist gave a system fault (not caught on the test drive since we didn’t go on the highway). And we also saw that the windshield had a quarter sized circular crack in the windshield at the very bottom in the black area that we didn’t notice before.
We are really disappointed as these should have been caught by the supposed extensive inspection they claim the CPO vehicles go through and we are now filled with anxiety about what else could be wrong and the history of the vehicle (nothing reported in carfax). We are somewhat regretting buying this used one and wish we would have just bought ours for the higher price.
We are contemplating turning the CPO in before the 14 days, but don’t know how complicated the process is or if we would lose money spent on dealer fees and licensing.
Has anyone dealt with something similar? What was the process like?
If we keep the CPO, what would you do or ask for to make sure the car is okay? What would you watch out for?
Thanks for any advice or perspective.

These are New Queen watermelons. Anyone else growing these? Any tips on when to harvest?
I posted the other week about the leaves on my tomato plants turning yellow. I pruned the yellow branches off and fertilized some more with tomato tone (a handful around each plant). The plants have gotten a lot worse since then. I have three different tomato plant here. I think maybe I over-fertilized and that is why they are dying. What do you all think?
I planted cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon. I’ve been seeing lots of little melons on the flowers (particularly on the cantaloupe), but nothing that has actually gotten bigger than a pinky fingertip. Then, yesterday, I found this little watermelon!
How are other people’s melons doing?
I’m in Seattle.
We are interested in buying out our MachE lease, but the residual is a bit higher than the market value. However, we’d love to just stay in the same car. We are wondering what the Ford dealership might be able to offer us to sweeten the deal even a little.
What should we ask for and what should we push for?
One idea was an extended warranty thrown in for free. Is this feasible?
Please give specific examples of lease buy out incentives you’ve gotten from ford if you have them.
Thanks!

Trying to plan ahead. I just put in planter beds this year.
I was wondering if people grow anything in the winter. Alternatively, do people grow any ground cover or something that can add nutrients back to the soil?

Thanks!
A lot of leaves on one of my tomato plants are turning yellow. I did some pruning of lower branches bc it was really dense in the center, and so I don’t know if that could have affected it or if it is something else. It was super healthy before this.
These are orange paruche cherry tomato’s.
My guy has gotten bottom heavy with most of the leaves drooping down to the ground. How should I prune it or what else can I do to get it more upright again?
I put some herbs in a garden box a couple years ago and I haven’t done anything to prune them. The dill (front) and cilantro (back) have grown into tall flowering plants with little useful dill or cilantro. I have a couple questions - (1) can I get them to produce the leafy versions of each herb again and how, and (2) is there anything useful I can do with the cilantro seeds? I’m in seattle if that matters.
It’s only two on the whole plant, but I’m just wondering what did this…
Does anyone have the obagi hydrate luxe 2024 packaging that they’d be willing to send me photos around the jar. I think I got a counterfeit one and am trying to confirm. Thank you!
It’s my first year vegetable gardening. I got this patio snacker cucumber starter from a local shop without putting too much thought into varieties (setting up the beds took all my time). But I am finding this cucumber to be strange - it is growing long, thin, and curved. And the taste has some essence of cucumber but tastes like half zucchini or something. Is that normal for this variety or is it something I am doing?
It is crowded in the planter bed next to zucchini and Brussels sprouts - I didn’t realize how much it would grow. But the plant is green and appears healthy. I water daily.
I’ve had a number of these rotting zucchinis on my plant - lots of good ones too. Does anyone know what is happening here and what is wrong? (This is a Magda zucchini)
It’s my first year gardening and growing vegetables, and I have no idea what I am doing. Luckily, everything has been growing really well so far! I have a zucchini that is already quite large, and I am wondering when you harvest zucchini.
Is anyone else growing this variety - Magda middle
Eastern - and have any tips/ info on it?
I was recently told to prune suckers from my tomato plants and I went out to do this, and was honestly confused what was and wasn’t a sucker. It seemed to be that there were flowers on things I would have labeled suckers. I obviously don’t want to prune off things that are going to produce blooms. The cartoons aren’t helpful. How do you tell what a sucker is and when to prune it?
My tomato plants have massively grown since planting, but it doesn’t look like they have developed any new fruit since some that was on the plants when I bought them. Transplanted about 5-6 weeks ago. Is this expected? When should new fruit develop? Am I doing something wrong?
