*Tip:  Water very early in the morning to discourage mildew.  If powdery mildew appears, (as often does on zinnias and annual phlox), remove severely infected plants, thinning the plants to allow for adequate air circulation.  Dispose of in the trash.  Spray remaining plants with Andre’s Remedy:  1 tbsp baking soda and 1 tbsp ultra- fine horticultural oil combined in 1 gallon of water.

Reduce fertilization.
