The heat, watering and mildew.....

So, I had been watering every other day in this heat. Due to the size of some of my squash and cucumber plants, which are interspersed throughout the garden, I noticed that there was still some moisture under the leaves at the start of the next watering cycle, so I decided to try a 3-day cycle instead. Boy did I pick the wrong three days to do that. I walked out in the later afternoon to see nearly every single plant wilted to the ground. Even the okra was starting to droop. Now, the original reason I went to three day cycles was because I was getting powdery mildew on my summer squash/zucchini leaves! Any ideas on how to keep the garden watered, but avoid the mildew?
