Week of August 5


This week in the DVG:

  • We continued to harvest.
  • We watched for mildew on plants due to the wet humid conditions.  Planting resistant varieties, with proper spacing, to allow good air circulation, as well as planting in adequate sunlight, helps prevent mildew.
  • Blueberries: if you’re interested in blueberries ready to harvest in mid-August, try the Baldwin variety.  They are a little larger than the early varieties and very sweet.
