almoat lost a couple roses to that early this spring so i’ve been spraying obsessively. mildew seems to be under control so far.
there had been beans and corn in there early on. the pumpkins had other plans. they’d even made it onto the plum tree but a storm yanked them off last week.
alternating neem oil and “Bonide Captain Jack’s Copper Fungicide”. the fungicide was just the cheapest one i saw on amazon when it became clear neem oil wasnt gonna be enough this year. my 4b winter was weak, closer to 6a, so fungi have been going crazy. all the lilac leafs turned black and fell off in july across the whole region. like they decided to nope out of summer and start fall right away.
I wish you luck saving them. its been an interesting year.
make sure to remove any blooms before you spray if you havent used the stuff in the past. neem oil and every fungicide ive seen screw with reporoductive cycles of friend and foe alike. i say that as much for anyone else stumbling onto this thread.

What did you spray for the mildew?

Thanks for the quick reply. My peas and bee balm have been hit hard this year after the same mild winter
