The tomatoes and peppers are still going strong, but we’re having to dig out the basil. The recent cooler, intensely humid weather in Cornwall is encouraging powdery mildew, which can spread quickly in the polytunnels. So it’s got to come out. Oriental pak choi is going in instead for winter salads and stir-fries.
