I make up a spray of 1 tsp dishwashing liquid 2 tbsp of milk and some water give it a shake and then spray the leaves. Get on top of the problem before it spreads. Otherwise you can remove those leaves if it not too many.

Furry mould is from to much dampness, powdery is too little. The plants usually get it at the tail end of the season anyway as their vigour declines. There's a biological control for caterpillars on your brassicas - it's not available to domestic gardeners over here but i noticed that Bek was using it in Oz. DiPel is the name - okay for organic systems. I use it on my cabbagey things at work.Asparagus Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12144544248029447571noreply@blogger.com
