Uh-oh... did I kill my squash???

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
All my zucchini and yellow squash plants have powdery mildew I read online to make a mixture of water, dish soap and baking soda and spray on the affected leaves (top and bottom of each leaf). So I did that this afternoon. I came home from work tonight and probably half the leaves I sprayed turned brown! What gives?!? If I pull all the affected leaves I'll be left with virtually nothing (maybe 75% of the leaves are affected).

What do I do? Did I just kill the plants??

Was is hot when you sprayed the plants? Maybe due to heat, it burned the leaves?

Yes, it was pretty hot yesterday. Doh! It probably is burned leaves. Are they going to die now? Is there anything I can do?
