I noticed some PM on one leaf, it hasn't changed much since it first appeared a few days ago. It's been so hot and dry that I presume the conditions aren't right for it to spread. When the time is right I'll spray half the plant with Nimrod and the other half with chitosan to see if there's any difference.
Yesterday was the hottest day ever recorded in the UK, with 40.3°C (104.5°F) recorded in Lincolnshire. At RAF Benson which is very near to us, the hottest day ever in Oxfordshire was also recorded, where it reached 38.4°C (101.1°F). Meanwhile the pumpkin plant appears to be lapping it up.
