Tomatoes and cukes both went extremely well. Trying to find new ways of eating tomatoes now.

Unfortunately the beetles got to my cukes bad- wilt did them in. Still got some nice fruits from them tho. Next year I think I'll do corn.

for the next time that occurs

if you have a bag of powered sulfur at the ready
it is supposed to kill off the powdery mildew

which generally happens when there's been a combination of rain,
watering of the foliage, followed by / afternoon SUN or very high humidity.

Also, if you check the details some strains have
powdery mildew resistance....

An extremely mild mixture of Dawn and water(mostly water) works wonders on broadleaf vegetable plants.Like I said for me it was too little too late.
