Watch out for

Slugs and snails: Use physical barriers like copper tape or apply iron phosphate pellets around the base.

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

Vine weevil: Apply nematode treatments in warm soil or use biological controls like Steinernema carpocapsae.

Aphids: Encourage natural predators like ladybirds or spray with a strong jet of water.

Powdery mildew: Ensure good air circulation and apply sulphur-based fungicides at first sign of infection.
