Ian, it could be disease of the leaf. Maybe you should deal with fungicide Swicht. I have several leafs the same, make sure that the disease is born in the leaf, and not at the root.

Just goes to show us all that battle disease - there's battles that can be won. But winning the war is not a possible outcome.

It's a hard battle whether inside or outside growing anything. As Ian said early heat waves which are rare and I see a good portion of Europe currently suffering through record temperatures. Best of luck!

Just out of curiosity: how does it come back if you kill it all?

How do you go about dealing with it mid season like this?

You just have to hope the fusarium doesn’t kill the whole plant. There is no chemical control anymore. The steaming gets rid of fusarium to a level where the plants can cope.

There’s no cure from it so make sure you remove it all from your patch.
