Now, many of the leaves (including the newer ones) have gray powdery blotches (maybe mold?) on them and there are tiny moths by the plants. When I rustle the leaves, a whole bunch of these moths get disturbed, fly into the air, and land around another squash leaf. I live in northeast Florida. Pictures of all the problems, including a small photo of one of the moths on a screen, are included. Does anyone know why the older leaves are dying, if the gray blotches and moths are harming the plants, or of a solution to these problems? |
