Other Edibles and Mold/Mildew problem

Hi all,
Some time ago Duncan had suggested a thread about edibles other than
vegetables. Besides herbs, I also have a number of edible flowers in the
garden. The grandchildren love it! -- and I've been teaching them some
do's and don'ts of flower eating.

Now for my question: My tuberous begonias, which are an edible variety
of begonia according to the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, have
developed a kind of unattractive mold/mildew on the leaf, no doubt due
to our humid climate here in Maryland. I've been doing some reading and
found some suggestions for controls, like better ventilation, but this
alone doesn't seem to get rid of the mold/mildew which is already on two
of the plants.  Any suggestions, cures?

Thanks,
Pat
