Re: Powdery Mildew?
Me again This is a pic of the mint that I clipped back to nubbins a couple of weeks back. The mildew is back which is quite frustrating Is there anything else I might try so that I can save it? When it first started to grow back the leaves seemed in good condition but after a couple of inches of gro...

Will spend...
