Hi
Welcome to the vine!
When you say mildew; all mine get mildew but we just chop the affected leaves off and leave them to grow; you usually get it [i find] when it is wet, so keeping all water off the leaves does reduce it alot. Mind you, in last year's weather there was no hope; but you can still keep them producing fruit mildew or not. The trick is to take the first few fruits off as soon as you can and not wait for them to get too big - this encourages more to set.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy it here! |
