Powdery Mildew (PM)-resistant Zukes
 

I love the flavor of Black Beauty Zukes but I keep losing the PM battle every year. There are lists online about hybrids resistant to PM and how prolific they are, but no mention of flavor.
Can anyone recommend a great tasting, PM-resistant variety? Thanks so much!

Milk for powdery mildew
 

From personal experience over the past years this works to control PM.

Milk Spray Recipe

1 part milk (organic if gardening organically) to 9-10 parts water.

Method:
Mix the milk and water together in a spray bottle. I use this glass spray bottle here but you can also use a plastic spray bottle or whatever you already have.

Spray the milk solution wherever you can see powdery mildew on the affected plant every 7 days.
Spray the plants during sunlight hours, preferably in the morning. Sunlight is likely to be a contributing factor to the effectiveness of this spray (more on why below).

This milk spray can be used as a preventative measure against powdery mildew. Spray plants at a frequency of every 7-14 days.

Most modern hybrids taste good, I wouldn't let that stop you from trying. Prices seem better for zucchini compared to cucumber hybrids which are prohibitively expensive, Desert F1 seems a good choice.
