Powdery Mildew Sets in !

What a Bummer !.. This is my only pumpkin plant to give up the ghost to Powdery Mildew.

Here on August 30, 2006 you can see it has spread to about half the way down the vine. The disease started on the lower leaves and moved up the plant.

I believe it happened to this plant since it lacked something in the "new soil" it was planted in. My other pumpkins have not yet succumber to any !

As long as the vine stays intact and teh disease just covers the leaves, I hope the pumpkins keep growing !
