hi all,
this is my second year of growing lupins from seed. last year i planted them out into pots and the leaves went a powdery grey colour. this year i re-planted last years crop into the garden and they have grown massive in heighy but again have the same powder leaves. the bed planted lupins have produced a crop of pods this year which i assume i have to dry out.

the new potted ones from seed have gone powder leafed again. is this normal or should i treat them with something to preventthe leaves going the same next year.
hope my rambling has made some sort of sence and someone could advice me.
thanks

Can you post a picture? Might be powdery mildew but a picture would help.

If it is powdery mildew, here are some links about managing it:
