Any ideas on why this has happened and what I can do to stop it happening to the rest Confused Confused I've cut off the 2 dodgy fruits and the rest seem to be OK.

Ooooooooh - that's happened to me too Shocked Mine just started swelling after the flowers had died and the two baby fruits rotted at the stem. There's a flower whose stem is doing the same before it's even developed a fruit at all. Could it be a blight-type thing? I've been wondering, what with all this warm, wet weather we've had recently - mind you today it's just wet and decidedly cool Confused

I like those tiles BTW.

Loobs - glad to hear I'm not the only one Razz Joy Larkcom says they need a humid atmosphere and says you should keep a bowl of water near them so that's what I've been doing but was wondering if it's too damp Confused
