There is white powdery stuff on my pumpkins. I'm assuming it's powdery mildew. The leaves are already turning brown, and I'm worried that I will loose my pumpkins before Halloween. Does powdery mildew affect the pumpkins themselves, and if so how can I save them from going bad? Please help! Thanks.
Hi guys, I've just read that a spray with 10 % milk to water does the trick. I'm going to try it myself

Milk mixed 1:1 with water is supposed to do the trick. Just spray it on and it should take care of the mildew.
hi thriftymomof2,
have you had a lot of rain where you live? that could be the problem. i live in tn. and we have recently had a lot of rain. bad for pumpkins this time of year and mine are rottening on the vine.
