Capsicum (also Bell peppers, Sweet peppers) 30 Dec, Dawn (Australia - temperate climate)
My long capsicums have developed soft brown spots & streaks. It doesn't look like the pictures I've seen of blossom end rot, And the local nursery said I had a fungal problem, I've sprayed with an eco fungicide however the problem is getting worse. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Horseradish 03 Jan, John Mauger (Australia - temperate climate)
Horse radish would normally be harvested when it is dormant but there's no reason why you couldn't dig down beside the plant an bandicoot a few roots for your favourite source! Horseradish is very hardy and any piece left in the ground will grow. Trust this helps.

Zucchini (also Courgette/Marrow, Summer squash) 30 Dec, Chris (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
As soon as my zucchinis flower and produce fruit they quickly seem to die off, stop growing and die off before they are even 120mm long?

Pollinate by hand with a cotton bud or break off the male flower and rub it on the female flowers. Check if bees are about in the morning - put some water out for them. Plant some flowers near by to attract the bees.

Sometimes early female flowers don't set as they haven't been pollinated. It could also be water stress but I rather think the first. Give them a bit of time and they should settle down.

powdery mildew don't like alkaline environment. Milk is alkaline

Melons will certainly grow on a trellis. Make a 'hammock' out of a citrus bag or stocking and tie it to your frame as they get a bit bigger so the stems don't break. Also reduces rotting which could happen on the ground. All the best

Hi! I have the same thing in my garden I read about this treatment for white powdered mildew and it worked for me! Mix 1 teaspoon bicarbonate with 1 pint of water and water leaves that are affected. Hope it helps

A 10% solution of milk and water also helps with powdery mildew. It is used organically, how it works, I don't know, but it does.

Tomato 27 Dec, Tom (Australia - temperate climate)
Some of my tomato plants have curly leaves. What can I do?
Reply
Tomato 30 Dec, Phil (Australia - temperate climate)
You dont say much about your particular situaion, and I'm no expert. I had a similar issue with a potted Patio Prize but it was before I had whitefly/thrip. While I was watering it was hitting the leaves, and I think I overused tomato dust. The leaves not only curled, but they also went thick and felt waxy. Plant growth stunted and the small amount of fruit were really acidic tasting too (symptom of inefficient leaves). You should be able to rescue this plant by mulching and only watering the ground under the plant. Trim the worst couple of leaves/branches off every 5-7 days, continue as new growth takes hold. Google an appropriate fertiliser, i cant comment on that yet. New growth should take, but of course they then become a rich target for pests, enter my white fly problem as well. Gentle spray with confidor and rehash the sticky paper similar to the previous post. I'm not skilled enough to go chemical free yet.

Sorry to hear about your tomato leaves curling. This can sometimes occur with variable weather, hot, cold, windy, but is more likely to be a virus transmitted by whitefly. Tose pesky little insects that swarm on beans, tomatoes,etc. They lift off when disturbed and then land again fairly quickly. They can be controlled by smearing vaseline on yellow cardboard or plastic; they like the bright colour. Check your state department of agriculture website, they have more information. Sorry I haven't been a lot of help.
