I knew it was coming...I found a few leaves yesterday with it...Day before yesterday I started using a soaker hose....No more over head watering....Maybe that will help me out some...

Jeff, If you saw it coming you should have been prepared. Get that daconil out and use it. LOL! Truly I hope you get a handle on it cause I know it is devastating down here. Are you sure it's powdery and not downey mildew? I read somewhere that daconil is not very effective on "downey mildew" Let me know how it goes.

While were on the subject. Jeff I hope you got it in time. probably been posted before but I thought powdery Mildew was caused by the leaves staying wet at night and not enough air circulation. Jeff's plants look open enough and with all that heat the water had to evaporate quickly or as Jeff said something that Ga. would get from humidity?
NJ gets high humidityand heat come april want to be ready!
