Keep an eye on squash because if you let one of the mildews get bad before you spray then you will lose too many leaves and it takes them some time to recover their foliage. I try to spray squash at least every two weeks with the bleach spray at a slightly weaker concentration than on tomatoes unless I am already spraying tomatoes then I just use the regular mix or if I see any mildew growing on the leaves. I have been removing older leaves for the past few years and it has also helped keep diseases down on squash. I did the same thing on my cucumbers this year and they lasted far longer than they ever have before. I also try to spray a fungicide on them every time I am spraying my tomatoes and that too has helped.
