Hi Terry: Yes, I know where Midway is and Grand Forks too. You're on
our scenic #3 Hwy. I'm in Vernon and on journeys in the summertime have
often passed your way. I like your mildew recipe and intend to see if I
can help my plants. Next year I hope to catch the problem before it
gets ahead of me. Thanks again.
