I have a question about my garden and I think it is probably related to this article about gray mold. I recently moved to a northern California coastal town. Long growing season, very temperate climate. I'm living in my RV and am surrounded by asphalt, so I container garden, allot. I'm trying to keep the pots wet enough so that the plants don't wilt from the heat, but its humid here.
My sage plants turn yellow and get brown spots. My squash gets spots, turn brown and die. The gray webbing takes over. yuck,but the plant keeps trying. I have tomatoes near the squash, one looks like it rotted from too much water, but I don't water until the top few inches are dry. That's every other day here.
Any suggestions? I thought the plants were getting sunburned, maybe that's the damaged entry point for the gray mold. Some one suggested shade cloth. But doesn't that seem weird with tomatoes?
