You betcha, the solution to powdery mildew is spraying the plant with diluted milk.

I think it was pepper for squirrels, the old consensus was the cayenne pepper worked best but, I like to use black or white pepper because cayenne can cause trouble with mucus membranes (it hurts a lot). That is for the squirrels.
