Hi everyone  

Can anyone help with a possible problem I have with my cauliflower ( all year round variety ) and broccoli ( autumn calabrese variety )

I have noticed over the past few days that one of the leaves on several of the plants is turning black  :cry:

The temperature did drop to 1c on tuesday night so could it be frost damage or is it something else , I have posted a couple of pics so you can see the problem.





Any help and advice with this would be much appreciated  :thumright:

Thanks and take care

Hopefully will just be the elements, Marky. Should grow out of it soon, in that case.

Hi Gobs

Thanks for the reply  :thumright:

hopefully it was just the elements and nothing to worry about. being a newby I thought I better ask incase it was something more serious and they all died :cry:

Thanks and take care

They look pretty good to  me, Marky. Might be worth popping some brassica collars round the base of the stem (or you can make them from cardboard) just to keep pesky cabbage root fly away.

nothing wrong with them they are fine the brassicas will darken with growing .a little touch of sulphate of ammonia .1/2 teaspoon round each plant  every 2 weeks and water in .... will make em into triffids

could have been a slight growund frost nipped the bottom leaves.

Mine had similar leaves after I applied nettle tea on them, they grew out of it!!!
