PSA * I need your help

*this will be deleted/don’t mind my actual account I have*

Midwesterners, homesteaders, gardeners, botanists, anyone who knows about corn

what have I done wrong?

Is my corn going to die? 😿😭

Can I do anything to save it?

I think it’s Physoderma brown spot disease, which for what I’ve been able to find there’s no home remedy and there’s not much knowledge on if fungicides even work. Which I’m an organic gardener so… it would need to not be any type of chemicals.

I’m crying you don’t understand how much this corn means to me.

Eyyyy I am so happy with my peppers and chillies! I lost a few due to drying out (the cardboard pots did not work for me) but all part of the process. Yesterday I potted them up into these bigger pots with multi purpose, peat free compost to give them a nutrient boost.

💛 I also sowed sunflowers 🌻 and corn 🌽

Today's gardening adventure! Needed soil first and foremost, but also gave my sprouts some well-needed natural air and transplanted my heirloom tomatoes into some buckets! I used these same buckets a couple years ago for the same kind of tomatoes, so I do have some drainage holes drilled into the bottom along with a layer of mulch for some extra drainage and natural nutrients. I have a jar of dried eggshells somewhere too...

Also, the 3-legged box is my raised wooden garden bed. I guess it absorbed some rain over the past couple years and it softened the wood around the screws in the leg. It popped off when trying to transport it, so I'm sealing up the holes and gouges left behind with some Plastic Wood; it takes upwards of 36 hours to cure, so I'll be revisiting that in a couple days.

The last bare patch is a spot I tilled up for some wildflowers. I also have Borage flowers seeds to plant, but I need to figure out a spot where I want them.

It's the first night my tomatoes are outside and it's going to be especially windy, so keep my plants in your thoughts! 🙏🏻🤞🏻 Also! I try sharing my gardening journey in shortform on T!kT0k if anyone is curious about my ramblings.

I love this guy. Seriously, he's top-tier for practical advice and reproducible, cost-effective veggie garden set-ups. Sharing is caring, so that's what I'm doing!

Gardening update. One of the nice things about living in Southern California is that we can grow vegetables year round. The winter garden produces lots of lettuce and other green leafy vegetables. The peas are starting to produce now, too. I can't believe we're still getting tomatoes from last summer's plants. Honestly, though, I should have pulled them all out months ago because it's just not warm and sunny enough for the tomatoes to ripen properly.
