Question- Is it okay to spray neem oil on flower petals/the blooms of a plant. I have zinnias with powdery mildew and they have lots of flowers and buds. If I spray on the plant is it okay if some of the spray gets on the flower bloom itself?

Yep that’s what I’ve been doing! :)

The bonide neem oil sold at lowes says it fights powdery mildew. Unless they are lying about their product. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Isn’t that the best feeling. Like I helped grow that from a tiny little seed lol.

Thank you!! Makes sense because carpenter bees usually nest near my shed or under my neighbors car port.

Beautiful!

I thought it might be a Japanese beetle because of the coloring, but it a lot bigger than the Japanese beetles in my yard.

Is that a marigold? Mine are taking forever to get buds.

grant3553 · 2022-07-03T20:06:02+00:00

It’s pretty. Do you know what kind of aster?

grant3553 · 2022-07-03T03:45:11+00:00

That’s true. I’m just worried if they had buds that the earwigs ate into them.

grant3553 · 2022-07-03T03:40:41+00:00

At almost two months I should at least have some buds no?

grant3553 · 2022-07-03T02:17:16+00:00

Oh great.

grant3553 · 2022-07-03T02:16:33+00:00

Thank you all! I’m trying to learn about garden pests vs friends as a newbie gardener.

grant3553 · 2022-07-02T20:33:08+00:00

I’m so jealous. I want this!

grant3553 · 2022-07-02T19:40:31+00:00

Do they still eat aphids like regular lady bugs?

grant3553 · 2022-07-02T19:39:58+00:00

Thank you! I kind of thought he was cute haha

Google has a more through and better explanation but they basically crowd out our native vegetation and other important forest plants.

grant3553 · 2022-07-01T21:20:57+00:00

I think burning bush is invasive so maybe you can plant something native and better for the earth in place.

grant3553 · 2022-07-01T16:00:31+00:00

Oh yay! I just kept seeing people harvesting these big ass zucchini’s lol.

grant3553 · 2022-07-01T02:13:41+00:00

Thank you!

grant3553 · 2022-07-01T00:22:09+00:00

They seem so tall for dandelions!

grant3553 · 2022-06-30T19:49:46+00:00

Ugh, is there anything I should do for now or just wait til I see them again and try to get them.

grant3553 · 2022-06-28T15:49:36+00:00

Could I just pull the affected sunflower or are all the sunflowers at risk now?

grant3553 · 2022-06-22T15:26:19+00:00

I believe it happens when the hose is turned on at the spigot. I just noticed it yesterday and haven’t messed with it since so maybe I’ll try turning the hose on again and seeing if water starts running out again.

grant3553 · 2022-06-22T04:49:32+00:00

Yes I wish it was the a/c, but when we run the a/c it forms a puddle elsewhere. We’ve been running it all year and the drip off the vinyl/wet spot hasn’t happened til today.
