Frost Peach

Should I be concerned about the white spot on this Frost Peach?

I recently read you can spray 1 part milk to 4 parts water to help prevent powdery mildew. I have no idea if it works. I read it in Mother Earth News.

I have also read that one from many sources, Jade, and I hear that it works.

Thank you Alcedo, Jade and JohnS.

Definitely looks like powdery mildew. I've removed that peach and will begin spraying with milk.

Evidently, garlic cloves crushed in water also may work as an organic sulfur spray.
