OK, we got 3" of rain yesterday. First rain in three weeks and it came down hard four separate times. How did the kaolin hold up? I went and checked this morning.
Unfortunately most of it was washed off except for where it was in a crease or depression on the stem or in a leaf axil. Heavy sigh. I thought that might happen but I was hoping it wouldn't. I had a little success last year by keeping the base of the plant powdered down with Sevin. I'm thinking I might try that on the yellow squash and use only DE on the zuke and see if there's any difference.
