You also need to remove any low lying leaves, any leaves that cross over to another plant, and any leaves that overlap each other. You basically just want a canopy above the ground that has the leaves well spaced. Another good way to do this is to drive a very long stake into the ground and train the vines up the stake to get the leaves as far away from the ground as possible. This allows air to flow around your plants, which prevents the fungus from growing by allowing the moisture to dry out and allowing the vine to get sunlight. Air flow is about the best way to prevent and/or stop powdery mildew.

I just bought a over wintered cucumber plant a couple of days ago, made sure to pick one that had no spots on my leaves. Today I removed (out of caution) a ton of leaves that had what looked like white shiny spots on them, almost like how after it rains you get dusty spots on your car. Although, they're not dusty? Or white.. they don't look fuzzy at all! But they're extreemly brittle where the spots are and crumble when you pinch them. I have no idea if that's mildew or not. I'm so bummed, was looking forward to finally having cucumbers this summer, as last summer when I started from seeds the mildew ruined them before they really grew.

Those large zucchini are perfect for stuffed zucchini on the bbq. Tomatoes, red onions, bacon (pre cooked) feta, all chopped, balsamic vinegar, s & p. Cut zucchini lengthwise and remove seeds. Slice a bit off the bottom so it sits flat and chop and add to your filling. Fill your zucchini and put on the bbq or even in the oven for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the zucchini. Can drizzle with more balsamic or even olive oil, if you like. It's what my family requests every time they see the large zucchini in the garden, lol. Yummmmmy!! Can also stuff with a rice, ground beef mixture.....whatever you like! Soon, you'll want your zucchini growing as large as possible!

I have hard time trying to grow zucchini here in Malaysia. A year of trying seeds refused to germinate. Until one day I decided to soak the seeds overnight in plant growth hormone solution (my instinct told me to do this! Haha!), and it worked, the seeds germinated 100%, my zucchini plants grew well to flowering stage. But just as I started rejoicing for successfully growing zucchini to flowering stage, disaster struck, all plants and all leaves were attacked by powdery mildew, the plants stopped growing and flowering, now look like they are about to die. "...like somebody dumped baby milk powder on your plant..". Exactly what my zucchini plants look like! You put it like it is!

Thanks, I caught the mildew just in time. It was weird because I look at my vegetable garden and flowers every morning to see if they need to be watered, make sure I didn’t get any unwanted visitors like deer, rabbits, and chipmunks etc., before watering the garden. This is only my second year with a garden, and I only grew a variety of sweet and hot peppers, tomatoes, and green bell peppers. So I expanded to cabbage, kale greens, squash, zucchini, and strawberry ( my granddaughter wanted me to grow them, strawberries are my mom and her favorite fruit) Yesterday there was absolutely nothing on my zucchini and squash leaves. They were was just beautiful greens healthy looking leaves. I don’t even have any yellowing leaves. I then watered them watered them as usual. ( it was unusually humid, early it was and the day before was cool outside)😋 That evening, I was showing my brother who came to visit the garden. I notice white powdery spots on 1/3 of my squash and zucchini leaves. I don’t see any signs of mole in the soil. I didn’t know what it was, but I know it wasn’t suppose to be there. I immediately went to KZfaq. I finally came across your video. I’m getting ready to prune the leaves of the ones with the mole, and later on today I’m going to buy some milk to make your concoction. I don’t keep it on hand because I’m lactose intolerant. Thanks very well explained☺️ Have a blessed day.🥰💜 You have a new subscriber here!

Most farmers/growers do not cut off the infected leaves, since doing this makes the wpm become air-born. A much better approach is hydrogen peroxide mixed with water, used as a foliar spray. It'll kill and prevent the spread of mildew. Another great solution is Trifecta Crop Control, which is organic and can be used right up until harvest. Cutting off the mildew covered leaves should only be a last resort. And each leaf should be bagged up(while still on the plant, then cut off, to prevent it from spreading as much as possible.

I found PM on my butternut squash vines yesterday and immediately cut off the grossly affected leaves which were all quite low down. I have four vines that I am growing vertically and so far the PM has not affected the upper leaves. The bed is up against the house and about 18 feet long. Although it is against a dark brick wall the bed surprisingly gets a breeze which is welcoming in our subtropical climate. I intend to use your 8:1 water to milk spray today so I will let you know how I go. I can't believe how fast these vines are growing. I do however have squash fruit that are browning, so if anyone can tell me whether I need to prune these off as well, I would be grateful. It is my first harvest and these are the first plants I check out every morning. Thanks CaliKim!

I generally use the tablespoon of baking soda mixed in a gallon of water with a couple drops of non detergent dish soap works great on my ganga plants

What type of soap do you use? Is Castile soap ok to use? Thank you

i use a paint sprayer for my recipe. high power and will knock off aphids at the same time. works great. look at the resell stores for a used paint sprayer.

Thanks for your video. Another technique that should work is using a field horsetail brew, since it has antifungal properties.

I got it bad on my peas this year. I pruned them off as it kept coming time and time again. I live on the east coast right next to plenty of water so it is constantly humid during summer. It also gets quite hot, so I wind up fighting off the mildew, the pests(which have gotten bad already thanks to a bad heat wave,) then critters(mainly deer and rabbits.) Our problem has been over the past two years where it will rain for like 2 weeks straight and then won't rain for 3 weeks. My peas still produced fine, but I didnt want it to spread to the other plants in that raised bed.

Thumbs up...you always do a great job with your channel. I meant to use the milk on my cucumbers this year but I didn't get around to it so I am replanting now for some late summer harvest.

What about planting in that soil where you had plants with powdery mildew? Is there a prodicol for what and when to replant and are we suppost to treat the soil woth something?
@TarasSimpleCrochet3 жыл бұрын
I read someone else’s comment here and they said to spray the soil with the same mixture too because mildew is there too and it won’t hurt it and it will feed the microorganisms :)

It does not cure it. It is better as a prevention. Before you see it. But, can't hurt.

Hi Cali Kim, can you tell me what kind of pretty yellow orangish flowers you have growing in your garden? I would love to grow them in my yard.

🎉 beautiful garden! Quick question, what kind of milk do i use? Long life milk or does it have to be another kind? Pls explain for me. Excellent video!
@CaliKim29Ай бұрын
For making a homemade mildew spray using milk, you can use regular cow's milk, either whole milk or skim milk. It doesn't have to be long-life milk; fresh milk works perfectly fine. The fat content in the milk is not critical to its effectiveness against powdery mildew, so any type of cow's milk you have on hand will work. Just mix it with water (typically 1 part milk to 8-10 parts water) and apply as a spray to the affected plants. Hope this helps! CK
