Amended yard zukes and tomatoes with mrp, az, and kelp, plus some leaves (and some harvested buckwheat)

Last year I never did a mid-season amendment of the zukes, and they stopped producing early.  So, today I gave each of the yard zukes (/scallopinis) and tomatoes 1 Tbsp kelp, 1 Tbsp mrp, and 1 Tbsp azomite.  Then a handful of leaves from the basement from last year.  And plunked some harvested buckwheat here and there near the zukes (/scallopinis) (unchopped).

Amended the zukes with kelp, mrp, and azomite

Alright alright.  My zucchinis are so pathetic these days that I declare my experiment over and decide that yes I really do need to do a mid-season amendment to keep the zucchini plants happy.  So, today I amended almost all (other than the one dying one) with 2 Tbsps kelp meal, 1 Tbsp mrp, and 1 Tbsp azomite.  Sprinkled it on top of the soil at the root, will let rain/animals bring it down to the roots hopefully.

Fertilized all zucchinis with Azomite (first time), MRP, and kelp meal (1 Tbsp each)

The 7 original/tulled zucchinis have really been slowing down over the past several weeks.  The ongoing/increasing powdery mildew could be a factor, but I figured why not give them a boost with Azomite (bought some today), MRP, and kelp meal, in case it might help.  At the same time I figured why not do the same for the three untulled zukes, though the one by the hydro meter is looking great, and though all three of these will likely succumb to SVB in the not too distant future.
