Morning all,

I am growing melons in the g.house for the first time and have a white powder forming on the lower leaves.

Could anyone tell me what this is and what I should do about it?

Thanks very much,

David

It's mildew. It's caused by dry roots and a humid atmosphere supposedly but you always seem to get a bit no matter what you do, especially as the plants get older.
I just cut off the affected leaves.

Thanks Jenny
