We have definitely got the downy mildew in both cukes and melons. It has nearly finished off the older leaves in the middle of some plants, but outer leaves are still alive, and we are getting some crop; though the crop is certainly diminished, and I don't know how much longer the plants will last. The progress seems to not be very fast, though. I'm growing Blacktail Mountain watermelon and Hannah's Choice cantaloupe because those held up longer than anything else the year the downy first came through. Cucumbers are Marketmore 76, County Fair, and Little Leaf. So far the Little Leaf might as well be called Little Fruit, and it seems to be dying faster than the County Fair; but it did look today as if it might be setting fruit on the outer portions of the plant, so maybe will get something off it after all. To the best of my knowledge this downy mildew doesn't affect either summer or winter squash. For three years now I've lost melons and cucumbers to it sooner or later, and a number of different varieties of both summer and winter squash haven't seemed bothered at all. -- Rivka; Finger Lakes NY, Zone 5 mostly Fresh-market organic produce, small scale |
