          I would think some kind of fungicide. Maybe a trip to the garden centre to see what they have?

                  btw, I didn't mean to sound curt ... but I am trying to eat my dinner, answer questions on GYO, play scrabble and argue with Mr Sheds about the video choice... all while having an African Grey sat on my chest trying to pull my teeth out

                      Are you sure it is powdery mildew - I get all sorts on my squashes and just chop any scraggy leaves off, the fruit still grows and grows and grows......

                          Apparently spraying the plants with a milk solution helps to clear it up and slow it down. using water and 10% of milk

                          i'll be trying it out later...

                              Cut off the badly infected and spray with milk and water diluted 1 milk to 10 water ( as Jemma recommended). Need to get mine done but it is raining at the moment and is forecast for most of the weekend.
