Hot weather causing mildew?

[Candelabrassiere]

Hello all - is anyone else suffering from mildew more than usual or do I blame the weather ? Or rather, is anyone else's plants suffering from mildew I should say

I have a clematis, sweet peas, roses, and a small potted wisteria all with what I believe is mildew. I've sprayed the roses to keep it in check but nothing else. Everything has access to air - I know mildew can be caused by lack of airflow / being close to a wall etc.

I'm probably going to take the sweet peas out - they are past their best I think and the blooms shrivel as soon as they appear. I find my sweet peas always go yellow near the bottom, but they seem mildewy all the way up this year.

Do I just blame the weather or could anything else be the cause do you think?

I blame the weather.

(That applies to most things actually)

Ok it's the weather

I planted a mixed hedge in Jan. Hazel, hawthorn, Holly, yew, gold privet and field maple. All of the field maples have mildew but none of the others.

Cucumbers and courgettes were quite badly affected,but I've cut all the affected leaves off and so far the new growth is clear

Yes dry weather. My garden was quite bad in the last few very dry springs we've had.

You can spray one part milk in ten parts water on theeaves but be careful not to do it when the sun could scorch the leaves. Healthy plants will often throw it off on their own if you are able to water more from now on

Thank you all! Just knowing it's probably the dry weather is helpful. I never knew about the milk trick! However, it is now pouring with rain (hooray)!!
