"Harvested this morning , french breakfast, golden balls and hailstone, and no slug damage !! good old nemaslug!"
Catherine replied to Mr Sparkles's discussion Redcurrant problem"OMG, I have these too. They have been like this last year too!
I pick off the offending leaves too, but never knew what it was!"
"I had a lot like this last year and i agree, it's slugs. I grow organically so now i use "nemaslug" don't get slug problems any more ."
Glenn Fletcher replied to Mr Sparkles's discussion Redcurrant problem"I think this is due to currant blister aphids. I would pick off the problem leaves and destroy them. Have a look at the underside of other leaves to see if they are clean.
