Ahh, that powdery mildew surely does get around.  I have it on good
authority that a baking soda spray (I believe it's 1T baking soda to a
gallon of water) prevents AND cures powdery mildew. I learned this too late
for my summer stuff, but I planted some zucchini for my fall garden, and was
noticing today that I probably ought to crank up the sprayer.  Thanks for
the reminder!
