An update on my 4 marrow plants. It will give me reference in about 10 days and again this time next year.
Plants are still healthy and looking good. I sprayed a second dose of fungicide on Friday 20th. Powdery mildew is my greatest problem for wiping out the plants suddenly. I had a weekend away and came back on Monday and cut a secondary off next to a marrow, dusted the wound with green sulphur.
Upon reading the dusting canister I saw it was somewhat effective in controlling PM in marrows so all the plants got a dust cloud to help fill in the gaps in the spraying programme
