Hello all, can any one please recommend me a corgette verity that grons as a compact bush andus immune to powdery mildew? Alsol for the past three years ive been growing roma, tumbling tom and costoluto tomatoes as they all crop well outside but this year I feel like having a change, can anyone recommend a tomato that does well outdoors and has goof blight resistants? Thanks for reading, john.

All the courgettes I've grown (load, and loads of types) all eventually get PM. Being careful not to splash the leaves when watering can help to keep it off, as well as increasing ventilation around the plant/healthy leaves.
Costoluto does well as you know, and seems to survive blight for me. -
If the plant gets PM are the fruits still edible?In the following link you can follow my recent progress on the plot

yep, it only really affects the leaves, but I just cut them off if they get it (obviously making sure there's still some for the plant to survive. If not, then I'll wipe as much off as I can and let the fruits carry on.Comment

Zucchino Striata D' Italia (Fr@nchi seeds) grows as a compact bush,until it gets top heavy
so just knock a stake in & tie it as it grows,it will fruit away happily.
Using the angled "pop" bottle watering technique greatly helps reduce PM
He who smiles in the face of adversity,has already decided who to blame
