I've been treating for powdery mildew on my zukes, using a baking soda, dawn, and water mixture in a spray bottle. That seems to have worked... it doesn't seem to be spreading or getting worse. Now however, the zucchini themselves are whithering up before they even reach 3 inches. Last week I had about 8 good looking baby zukes that I cut off when they were about 6 iches long. I cooked them up and they were great. Now, I have flowers everywhere but the zukes just are whithering up. Could this be more mildew problems? The plants look great.The new leaves are mildew free but the fruits are not looking so good so good. I've only noticed this in the last three days. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

I started having this and figured out that I was not keeping th soil moist enough.

That's a good start...hopefully that's the problem. That can be easily fixed.
