I sprayed Daconil about 5 days ago and it immediately got washed off and we have been getting drizzly rain making respraying impossible. I got out in the drizzle today when it wasn't coming down too hard in order to check my plants. I found a little Gray Mold restarting on the first plant I saw it on this year so I'm sure there is more. Many plants are showing disease symptoms again after looking so good a few days ago. I wanted to spray the bleach today but it was just too wet to do any good. If it isn't still raining in the morning I'm going to hit everything in my garden with it. I will follow up with a copper spray tomorrow afternoon weather permitting. I've heard it isn't as bad about washing off and with these frequent rains I just can't keep Daconil on the plants.
I'm really worried that this prolonged period where there is no Sevin dust on the base of my squash will result in squash vine borers. It would be just like them to take advantage of this situation.
