raven - the white powder is powdery mildew. It gets unsightly but is not of much concern - the plants will continue to grow and fruit anyway. As you will not be expecting to overwinter the plant if it eventually succumbs it doesn't really matter."Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning how to dance in the rain." ~ Vivian Greene0

My courgettes (and peas) are really bad this year (Midlands though). Had three off the courgettes so far (around one per week), but I haven't been able to pick loads young and freeze them as I had hoped. At this rate I'll just snag the flowers and eat those I think.0

After growing courgettes for the first time I am impressed. Although a lot rotted I am getting loads off the plants and some wonderful Marrow sized ones too.
My beans all got eaten but the peas rocketed away so have loads. I'm even getting green tomatoes growing so will see if they progress.
I've had quite a few strawberries and rasperries that were planted 2 years ago have given out a lot of fruit so I'm a happy bunny.
