On returning off my hol's on Sunday, I discovered all my pumpkin leaves are covered with white spots.  :(



Do you think the pumpkins will be ok or they had it? ??? :(

TGF :D

Thank you for your reply :D
Can anything be done to help it or prevent it in the future?

it really only affects the older leaves, caused mainly by damp atmosphere but dry roots.... light rain following hot dry spell... if not all the leaves are affected take them off it aids airflow around the plant/reduces local humidity..
