| Don't get water on the leaves. Try to water early in the morning. Your plants that you have in pots look good! |

| I've had good luck beating back powder mildew with diluted milk. 10:1 (or so) water to milk, preferably skim, but you can certainly use whatever you have in the house. Spray the leaves liberally, but not immediately before a rain, so that it doesn't wash off immediately. Chamomile tea might work well, too. |

| I couldn't really see from the video what the zucchini leaves looked like. Can you post a still photo here? It is possible you don't have powdery mildew at all since zucchini often have natural pale patches on the leaves which do no harm. Look at the picture at the link and see what you think. By the way - the plant you say is lavender in your video looks like Chenopodium bonus-henricus - Good King Henry, a weed I'm afraid, although an edible one. |
