Oh no!
I was just looking over my gooseberry bush today, and marvelling at the size of the fruit swelling on it... when I suddenly noticed that mildew (I'm assuming that's what it is) is taking hold on half of the bush...
I had a small mildew problem last year, but it was much later, just effecting some of the fruit just about as it was ready to harvest. But this year it is much earlier, effecting foliage and fruit and if it spreads it will effect the whole crop by the time it is ready to harvest...
I did some damage limitation by removing as much effected fruit and foliage as I could see - but I think that is unlikely to stop it...
What should I do??? :'(
Cheshunt compound?
Help please
