I hope this is the right forum to ask this:

What do the leaves of moschata plants look like?

The story:

I bought a moscata pumpkin at a farm last year. I was leally big (for a moschata) and nice coloured. I saved a few dozen seeds and planted two of them (just for fun). Now I have them growing and throwing really nice little fruits (still am not sure if they really "took"). From the beginning these plants had leaves that looked like they had powdery mildew on them (white areas bigger than spots). I almost drowned them with fungicide and still no change. I believe that they are ment to look this way.

Several of our field pumpkins have the leaves as you describe.

Some of our field pumpkin plants have the same looking leaves, last year it bothered me but this year I see them and it doesnt bother me nor' the plant.
