Ohh Nooo Powdery Mildew

[mommagoose]

Summer Squash are the herald to warn you when Powdery Mildew has arrived in your cucurbits. It has rained 2days out of the last three and during a lull this afternoon I found Powdery Mildew on my Zukes. Tomorrow is a picking day but I guess I will break out the Bravo and spray pumpkins winter squash and cucumbers. Hope I am not too late. I was spraying every 10 days but missed the Zucchini last time around.

Here's hoping you did catch it early. Seems like no one's safe from this horrible wet summer in the Northeast!

I have been thinking the same thing. LOL We get grasshoppers the beginning of September but they are here already. Not enough to do too much damage though.
