Title: Mildew
Post by: Biscombe on May 01, 2007, 10:00:13
The powdery mildew has started already!! my out door cuke has 6 leaves and one flower and the bottom leaves are covered in moldew!! Its way too early!!!! Over the last few years I've tried milk, organic packet stuff and bicarb, this year I'm trying neem which is also a used against pests. has anyone got any tried and tested measures against P.M! I get it every year but much later!! Cukes are the worst for this so does anyone know of any mildew resistant varieties?
