Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do about powdery mildew on brown berry plants?

Look for a white, floury coating on leaves and stems, usually starting mid-season. Improve airflow by spacing plants properly and removing heavily affected leaves; then spray with a ready-to-use horticultural sulfur or potassium bicarbonate product, following the label, especially after cool, humid mornings. Avoid overhead watering so foliage stays dry, and stop feeding with high nitrogen if mildew starts because it drives tender, disease-prone growth.

How can I tell when brown berry is ready to harvest at about 60 days?

Harvest when berries turn fully brown and develop a uniform color, with a slight give when gently squeezed—not hard like unripe fruit. Pick in the morning after the dew dries, and use a taste check: fully ripe berries should be sweet with a mellow, not grassy, flavor. If you see uneven ripening, pick only the fully brown clusters and leave the rest to finish for a few more days.
