Yes I agree with Vivian, downy rather than powdery mildew. I had it last year and it’s lethal, all plants dead within ten days by mid August, including melons and outdoor cucumbers.
I had been wetting the leaves to discourage red spider, and that increases the chance of downy mildew.
So no wetting this year, no mildew either, even outside, so hereabouts it must have been barely breeding.
Best of luck with yours Wanda but I am not too optimistic, at least it’s near season’s end.
