RE: fungus/mildew


Hi PF,
No, although theres nothing wrong with that.  What I mean is avoid
wetting the leaves with water or spashing soil up onto them in the
evening.  Fungus spores that are drifting through the air will collect
on water droplets and enter the leaves through the stomata.  A fungal
spray will probably kill those spores or at least prevent them from
infecting the plant.  I sprayed last night myself.  I do it whenever I
can find the time.
