    Do your bit for the greater good by sending in samples of ornamentals with powdery mildew. Scientists at Reading Uni are working with the RHS to understand the spread of nasty new species of powdery mildew, as well as other powdery mildews in the UK. They will extract DNA from your nasty, find out what species it is, tell you and map which species are where.

    (Full disclosure: I'm biased cos I studied crops at Reading.)
