I would think some kind of fungicide. Maybe a trip to the garden centre to see what they have?

[darkcrystal]

well i have cut off the most infected leaves and thrown them out, not in the compost bin. i cant get to a garden center but do you think places like b and q or wilkos will have somthing?????

btw, I didn't mean to sound curt ... but I am trying to eat my dinner, answer questions on GYO, play scrabble and argue with Mr Sheds about the video choice... all while having an African Grey sat on my chest trying to pull my teeth out

Sounds a bit like a Monty Python sketch...........

Are you sure it is powdery mildew - I get all sorts on my squashes and just chop any scraggy leaves off, the fruit still grows and grows and grows......

[darkcrystal]

it is ok two sheds, the other one does work thank you, i have looked at the leaves and they really look like the pictures, even my partner who know nothing about garderning said it looked powedery. i really dont want to loes these as i have a pumpkin growing maby even two if it does not die off.....so at the moment im panicking.

Apparently spraying the plants with a milk solution helps to clear it up and slow it down. using water and 10% of milk

i'll be trying it out later...

Sounds like you're taking multitasking to the extreme there TS

Cut off the badly infected and spray with milk and water diluted 1 milk to 10 water ( as Jemma recommended). Need to get mine done but it is raining at the moment and is forecast for most of the weekend.
