greeneyes :"..zukes,..We have trouble with melons, squash etc. anyway."

If I recall properly , they are all members of the curcubit family .
I would sterilize and rotate crops location, and raise disease resistant varieties.

We do crop rotation. Solarized, and also treated with fungicide that meant we couldn’t use any produce for at least a year.

Once the spores come, they spread, and are very difficult to get rid of. Hubby says he is not planting any of that family this year. I may plant some cukes and zukes in a couple of buckets with potting soil from Wally World.

For canning, I’ll probably visit the farmers market.
