There's nothing I can probably do for 'Maiden's Blush', but even so I'm going to try. If a simple lilac bush can break all the rules of nature, I can break my own rules and spray these young leaves for mildew and fertilize the bush right now, hoping to give it the best chances I can to form more new buds for spring before the frosts steal its strength again. New buds, I pray, for the spring of 2021 when we all hope this wacky world rights itself and normality returns to the garden and our lives.
Though an old gardener, I am but a young blogger. The humor and added alliteration are free.
