I thought you were offering us some, Chantal. I was going to say, no thanks, I have plenty of my own. Yes, it sounds like mildew. I just cut off the leaves and make sure the plant's well fed and watered. In my experience it's something all cucumbers, melons and courgettes get as the season goes on a...

I think tomatoes and peppers and chilli peppers enjoy the same conditions, as do aubergines, but the latter need a long growing season and it's hard to give them the warmth they need in February! I just looked up the variety of pepper I grow and it's called Cristal. As I said I got it in Spain, thou...

If my experience of large public bodies is anything to go by, they will be so inefficient and incompetent that they won't even notice what you do as long as you keep quiet about it. I would take down the fence, cultivate the land and put a shed on it (and, if anyone asks, say you did it all seven ye...
