I have yellow squash and my leaves have a white mold on them. How can i get rid of it and keep it away. Also am I watering to much or at the wrong time of day. I water early in morning so leave wont burn. Please help me.

1-Tablespoon Baking Soda, 1-Tablespoon of Vegetable oil and 1-Tablespoon of Dish Detergent, in One Gallon of Water, that will take care of most mold, powered mildew & fungus you may get on vegetables, Later Guilt Trip

Someone last year suggested diluting milk with water and spraying it on to prevent powdery mildew. It seems to work, or at least keeps the new leaves from catching the mildew from those already infected.
