Cougettes Mould - Why would this be?
« on: July 20, 2007, 14:24:30 »
 A colleague is growing courgettes in his greenhouse and is asking why the fruits are going mouldy. He seems to think I know everthing (does anyone remember the chocolate finger ads , younger brother looks to older brother admiringly and said "you know everything Brian" 8) yes you're right my OH thinks I'm mad too :o any way  admitted haven't got a clue but thought I might know some one out there that would.
Any idea Guys & Gals ;D ;D

If they haven't been fertilised they will rot back from the blossom end... but Botrys (?) Grey mould is most likely in this weather...
