Well yet another mystery in our veggie garden. The zucchini leaves have
white blotches on them. I cut them off and then more get it. Does anyone
have any idea what that might be? How about a cure? Don't know what I would
do with out your help.

White, powdery patches? Or silver-white splotches? The first is a disease
(powdery mildew) and the second a characteristic of some zucchini varieties.

Powdery mildew usually shows up for me sometime in late August when
I'm so tired of summer squash that I don't care if the plants start giving out.
I normally ignore it.

Here's something that may be worth trying, though:

I'm off to the store to get cayenne pepper to sprinkle on the leaves that
the rabbits are eating. They plucked one new bean plant off even with the
ground.


I should think a little fence made of chicken wire would be easier and
more reliable. It would only have to be about 18 inches tall...
