We get like 0.1 inch of rain every other afternoon, then the plants stay wet all thru the hot night till the blistering hot morning sun hits. Spraying just seems so pointless. Im removing diseased foliage at the bottom faster than its growing at the top. And unless we get a break in the heat, (which isnt likely) Im not gonna get much more fruit set anyway. Aphids have attacked my peppers, vine borers are threatening my squash, and armadillos have ravaged my cantaloupe.
This is the most discouraging time of the year for gardening.
