<<My yellow and zucchini squash have been a total disaster here in Zone 8, NW 
Louisiana.  Has anyone else had problems?  I planted both transplants and 
seeds and both have had a terrible time with powdery mildew.  I haven't been 
able to find any way to treat this and all plants are slowly dying.  We have 
had an unusually wet spring, could this be the reason?  Thanks for any help.

     Don't know if it will work on plants that are so infected, but if 
they're still alive, try spraying with this.....

In a gallon sprayer (adjust amounts for larger sprayers....or smaller)
1/2 cup Listerine
3 tbls. baby shampoo
3 tbls ammonia

     This took care of the powdery mildew on my Hollyhocks.....which were 
nearly leafless by the time I got around to spraying them. Make sure to get 
the undersides of the leaves as well as the tops.
