Message: [QUOTE="headfullofbees, post: 246301, member: 408"] More than fair. We get many fungal diseases in plants, from blight to botulism, mould to mildew, rust to root rot. Spacing the plants helps to ameliorate the problem, but, being sensible, plants which grow from seed in the spring to full size in summer, harvested prior to autumn, can be placed closer than long-term brassicas, which are cool-weather crops, & as such, in danger. I have never grown courgettes or cukes with absolutely no powdery mildew. [/QUOTE]
