Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or beer traps, and hand-pick at night.

Grey mould (Botrytis): Improve air circulation, avoid overhead watering, and remove affected fruit promptly.

Vine weevil: Apply biological nematodes to the soil in spring and autumn to control larvae.

Aphids: Squash by hand, blast with water, or use insecticidal soap for severe infestations.
