I do have powdery mildew, but the other white spots are bright white. They
appeared closest to the stump then moved down the vine. My guess is that it
is
because they are older leaves. I am using Eagle 20 and milk for the PM.
Not
sure if it is working too well. I now only have leaves on one side of
the
plant. I wasn't able to let the vines on the one side grow very long.
It looks
like a flag. I don't know if there is much else I can do to save
the leaves.
Quite a few of the leaves also have brown/rust spots. The
leaves are very
brittle and dry. I hit the plant with ferts and Eagle 20 and
disease control.
Please tell me that the pumpkin will continue to grow with a
strong main
vine... if not, then break it to me gently.
Debbie

Sounds like powdery mildew to me. It spreads fast so
you'd better spray for it
asap or it will kill all the leaves.
