I should have tried milk on cucumbers & tomatoes this year. I totally forgot about milk. It sucks that I can't remember things these days, I found this link about blight. Next year I will try milk if I can remember.

In a hot and humid place, preventive fungicides just delay the inevitable. I have found a few cultivars of tomatoes and cucumbers with some very good disease resistance at least while they are young and healthy. They have made it through at least a week of constant rain without mildew and I even had a zuchhini that was good against mildew as well, but it was a favorite of the melon fly so I had to get rid of it to keep the cucumbers from being stung.
