Let’s sow turnips and fight powdery mildew with milk!

Jacky Mercier market gardener in Frontenay sur Dive (79) begins with sowing:

it’s time to sow radishes and turnips!

The advantage of turnip radishes (like black radishes or red meat) is that they adapt to all soils, however thank you for loosening them well before sowing. Directly on the ground? Directly in the ground!

Do you still have tomatoes on the vine? Jacky advises us to put them in Bordeaux mixture. Even as we come to the end of the season, what will this care be used for?

If the mixture can work for at least 3 hours without rain, you extend the life of your tomatoes by a month.

Finally let’s look at the zucchini, they too are at the end of the season, the large leaves have taken on a curious white color.

This fungus that settled in with the arrival of shorter days is powdery mildew. There too, to prolong the zucchini for a month, there is a recipe.

You take any milk (the cheapest says Jacky) and dilute it to 10% in a spray bottle of water: 1L of milk for 10L of water, if you have a large garden. You sprinkle your zucchini feet well and so you can still eat it for several weeks.
