I think the weed killer in the fertilizer may interfere with the grass germinating. It's generally safe to use on lawns, but only after they're established. It's kind of late to try to seed a lawn, anyway, so maybe your best recourse is to try to get the weeds under control between now and when the temperatures start to drop and reseed then. The best time to reseed is probably sometime between August 15 and September 15.

Thanks to all who responded. Yes, my eye began slowly working it's way back to normal. After the first day, it had gone down to about half the size it was the night before, and was starting to show some response to light. By the second day, I was able to focus my eye again, and by the third, it seemed normal, if not still slightly sensitive to light. Those first 2 days I had to wear sunglasses even in the house because even the sunlight coming in the windows was painful. Definate lesson learned here, I think when working with these plants from now on, I will wear gardening gloves, as a precaution that I wont absently wipe or scratch my eyes, and be sure to wash thoughoughly upon coming back inside. Very scary indeed when you make a living as a freelance photographer and only have one good eye. (I was born with an abnormality of my left eye, looks perfectly normal but is basically just window dressing, can't do more than distinguish color and light with it) I couldn't imagine giving up our brugs, our yard is always vibrant with the colors of them, and on nights like last night, with literally thousands of open blooms, you realise why you do all that feeding and watering. We had a candlelight dinner and a movie on our lanai literally floating on clouds of the most wonderful perfume. Earlier in the evening just after dusk we were returning home with the windows open in the car and could literally smell our place before we arrived in front of the house. Appearantly the weather has just been on the perfect side for them this winter, as the trees are just bending under the weight of as many blossoms as they can possibly hold, with flushes coming one after the other. I haven't slowed my feeding scheduel yet, as it's been pretty much in the lower 80's still all the time, and have had to do quite a bit of pruning, both of side shoots and branches that are getting on the roof and in the gutters. So I should have plenty of cuttings if anybody wants them who didn't get some of the plants I had earlier, they went amazingley fast. Dave

Sounds like something killed or cut the root; maybe a cutworm? Do you have a dog? Dog urine, and cat urine to a lesser degree are very concentrated; and can seriously damage a young tree. Salt? as in water softener? Hard to tell from afar, especially without fotos. Could simply be SIDS... Sudden infant death syndrome, with no explanation. At any rate, I would un-pot it and have a look at the root; if the root is good, you can always put it back and pray for reincarnation.

Thanks, guys. The leaves haven't bleached but some are wilted. The pots were rooted inside and moved to the garage last weekend to acclimate them to the heat a little more. The were originally potted a couple months ago in 20 ounce cups...moved to the 1 gallon pots last weekend. I watered the pots on saturday and will mist the leaves again tonight when I get home. If they survived today's heat I'd be pleasantly surprised. The trees are potted in tapla's mixture.
