Hiya,
Hopefully no-one will mind me asking all these questions in one go rather than doing seperate threads for the different types of plant....
1) My courgette plants in the front garden (starting to look like trifids or however its spelt!) have started to get a white dusty substance on some of their leaves... it started off as a little bit & now some leaves are COVERED. does anyone know what it is? is it going to kill my plant/the courgettes?
2) should i pick off leaves off my moneymaker tom plants? ive done all the bits in the elbows... but the toms that are growing seem shaded alot by the other "branches" of just leaves (when they first started growing i didnt know to pick out the bits from the elbows & now theyre bit of a funny shape.
3) Im growing a marketmore cucumber, outside, should i pick off the male flowers?
4) Im trying to grow 2 types of aubergine, there anythng i can do to help them grow actual aubergines? the moneymaker larger plants have flowers on but have had flowers on before which then just fell off & left nothing... the others are ophelia & so called patio plants so think they only produce baby aubergines but should i help the flowers pollenate by using a brush?
any hints/tips for any of the above would be a great help.
Thanks
Kerry
