Hi All,

My zukes still have heir initial leaves. How long
can I sky water them before I risk powder mildew?

I thought you were in Nevada. You're losing a lot of water to
evaporation before it even reaches the ground. What benefit do you
find in delaying the switch to soaking?



My zukes always die off from white power mildew. I think it
is from the mist from the lawn sprinklers, but I am not
sure. I will find out the season as I am not watering the
lawn anymore. I am a bit paranoid, black thumb and all.
