My outdoor cucumber and courgette seem to have been almost totally
wiped out by mildew.
The butternut squash is soldiering on but is also suffering.

Is there anything I can do to save the plants?
With virtually no leaves left there is not much to power the plant into
producing more fruit or filling out what is already there.

Cheers

Changing the subject completely David, was your field the one hit by the
little sods this week?


Not aware of anything - do you have a URL?


'Fraid not. I refer you to Wednesday's Evening Star and a story about the
Cemetery Field allotments in Langley Ave.

Fortunately not where my allotment is.
I am at cow pastures.
