My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Squash and cucumber disease

6 years ago

I live in southwest florida and am trying to grow squash and cucumbers but something is killing them all off. These little black spots or mites systematically destroy it. I tried natural insecticide/fungicide, essential oils...but no success. Any help would be appreciated :)
