Hi tperrino.. :-)

It sounds like you have powdery mildew on your squash. I would go over to the Organic Gardening forum and first do a search for that topic...powdery mildew...and if you don't find what you are looking for there or in their FAQ, then post your concern and you should find someone there that can help you.

Good luck :-)
