plants are a little bit behind because a virus:'Beet Pseudo-Yellows Virus .
Wil spray tomorrow with ''MANCOMIX''. This should help to prevent the virus from spreading out to the other leaves.
And I will give the plants a bit magnesium, then if the virus is killed, the plants leaves turn again dark green.
And I will spray against wth ''calypso'', it kills all the bugs in my plants.Will post pictures of plants and pumpkins next week.
