Best disease resistant cantalope & squash

BlackestKrim · February 18, 2011

I want to try cantelope and squash (both summer and winter) again, but I had the most horrible time with powdery mildew last summer.

Do yall recommend any particular varieties/seed suppliers that have great resistance to powdery mildew and fusirium wilt? I recall I found a great variety at a Dave's Garden "top 5" site (can't recall the name now) but they only had the seed in bulk supply. The seeds they had in home-grower quantities weren't of the really disease-resistant varieties.

While I prefer heirloom in tomatoes, at my current expertise, I'd prefer some hybrid, unkillable squashes, melons, and cukes.
