flower sprouts

[Florence Fennel]

Wasn't sure whether to put this on here, or in pests and diseases. Is anyone else growing flower sprouts? Mine are plants from Marshalls and whilst the majority are really healthy looking with sprouts starting to form, a couple of the plants have a thick grey midewy-mould growing on the uppermost leaves. Any ideas?

mildew, or woolly aphids?

Thanks TS, I don't think it's mildew, but although I've heard of woolly aphids, I don't know anything about them/it. I'll investigate.
