Disease in my garden... what is it?
Comments (1)Can you post a picture?...See MoreRust runniing rampant. Are my roses doomed?
Comments (4)It is because of our relatively late winter rain and cool spring. Rust is everywhere this year. Rust does not kill the rose, merely make it look so bad you wish it would kill the rose. You could wait, and as the foliage starts to fall, hit the roses hard with blasts of water to get the foliage to drop then rake it up and trash it. Give the plants a little N to help them grow new foliage. It is bad news but the only long term solution is to plant roses that don't rust. If you leave them they will drop the diseased foliage eventually and grow new stuff. I rake up and trash the diseased stuff, but I don't know if it helps or not. It doesn't hurt. If they are newly planted roses they may develop more resistance as they establish. I have a few that rusted horribly when first planted but haven't done it since, even this year. A dormant spray next January is not too toxic and might help for next spring. It has been a bad year for rust! You are not alone by any means. I'm willing to live with it, thankful for the rain we got. I call rust "Paying for the rain." Every 'Iceberg' I've seen around here, of which there are literally thousands, is clean. Clean, clean, clean. No wonder there are so many 'Iceberg's....See MoreHelp identify pea like vine rampant in my garden
Comments (9)First thing that came to my mind was bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis)which spreads by seeds & deep rootlike rhizomes. Can't say for certain without more info but maybe you could look up this weed. As I'm currently working on a final exam about weeds, I probably have resources to identify it - too bad you're unable to post a pic. Summer...See MoreFusarium?
Comments (10)I found a MO fact sheet on nematodes that lists crops that are highly susceptible all the way to very tolerant in 4 grades. http://extension.missouri.edu/p/g6204 I have some plants that do not do well for me but are supposed to be resistant or even benefit from nematodes. Rhubarb and asparagus. Now most of the 'very susceptible' crops - all the cucurbits, peppers, tomatoes - do fairly poorly for me, so that fits with nematodes. But I am growing okra for the first time, and it's doing very well. Actually though it's in a bed with 4 tomatoes that are also doing better than average. I may have found one bed at least that is not loaded with whatever this is. :-] When pulling plants, I do not see a lot of root knots and nodules like the pictures show. The basils and beans in the above pics have very normal looking roots....See Morepnbrown
