Fungus

With the amount of rain and the out of the ordinary humidity, many plants will be showing signs of fungus attack.

Maybe the leaves have greyish-white mildew, or strange spots like black spot, or the fruit has brown rot.

All these are signs of fungus.

Copper based sprays can be applied but obviously need to be reapplied after rain. Wait for hot weather to dry everything out, and prune back.
