Tomatoe seeds in the last couple days

[Urban]

What’s your secret? My mangetout barely produce anything before succumbing to powdery mildew. Every year, without fail. Still gonna try again this year anyway. Thinking about not growing courgettes this year in a bid to stop the mildew spreading around the garden so quickly.

If you're not already in the tromba competition. Try growing them instead of courgettes. I've heard there pretty resistant to mildew. And might even be better than courgettes anyway. They don't have seeds in most of the fleshy part
