Powdery mould on my leafy greens

    I have a grey powdery mould on my broccoli plants and it looks like they're done for. It seems to have spread to some of my cabbages and one of my brussels sprouts plants now too though. Also, there are greyish spots on the leaves of my swedes but I don't know if that's related.

    I googled it and read about an anti-fungal spray but I haven't been able to find it yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or give any advice?
    Thanks.

    I had a similar problem - found it was possibly because I was watering with a sprinkler in the evenings. Since changing to watering with a hose and only to the roots - the problem has stopped affecting my plants.

    Thanks Minder - I have been watering with the sprinkler setting. I'll just water the roots from now on.
