Last year I had a problem with my tomatos some sort of fungus appeared on the leaves. I brought one of my plants to the local garden centre and they were unsure what the problem was suspecting it was a fungus but not sure. They then gave me a spray for the tomatoes they thought would fix the problem but it didnt. I thought it might have been my fault as I grew the plants from seeds. So this year I went to my local garden centre and bought the plants but the same problem us starting again. I have no idea what to do!! I have attached a photo of the problem. I really hope you can help as the joy of going into my green house is diminishing.

Hi Gerry, I have been sowing peas for years and have never had a problem but this year I think they are being attacked by birds because all the little shoots coming up are being broken off and it looks like the pea itself is being eaten. I have put up CD's on twine to try and scare them off but nothing is working. They have my heart broke as they are pulling all of them up. What is your suggestion?
