Sungron’s Question
The June rains and probably a careless watering left my squash and zucchini with a powdery mildew on some of the leaves. I’m guessing my move is to strip the bad leaves and get them away from the good ones?

Yes your best hope is to remove the infected leaves and hope for some dry sunny days. Do not let the soil dry out however as this will stress the plant and encourage more mildew. I think you will still get zucchini this summer. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
