New Gardner, Wilted Peppers,yellow leaves, white marks on leaves
Comments (3)Welcome to the forum, and welcome to summer vegetable gardening! It's a tough time of year for most familiar veggies, as you see. Humidity, heat, mildew, bugs. Did you see stunted, gnarly, bubbled roots on the plants you removed? That would be nematodes...kill plants quickly. The white squigly marks are probably leaf miners, not a huge problem unless there are lots of them. You can use the "search" feature at the top of this page to find past conversations about growing vegetables in Florida. It should give you a lot of info. Good luck and again welcome. Keep posting with your successes, failures, questions, observations, whatever. It's fun here on this forum! Treefrog...See MoreTwo Toned Purple Iris With Purple Stain At Base Of Leaves
Comments (7)Hi Darla, I may have one like it, do you have the exact height by any chance? When you need to identify an iris, the height and flower size are very important. It narrows the search when you know the classification. I found several with the exact same shade but too tall. Mine by the way is 27" tall. I wrote the name in one of my old garden journals but I can't remember which, so it's going to be a long search.

Comments (3)Which leaves are turning yellow, the young leaves or the older leaves? How long ago were the plants transplanted? The leaves that are yellow, is the yellowing between the veins or in the veins and not in between or all over? Since you did not add fertilizer to the second plot (symptomatic plot) then you probably have a N deficiency, just fertilize and you should be fine. I would also get some gympsum or calcitic lime and add that as well. The gypsum is very soluble in water and can supply Ca to the plant fast whereas the calcitic lime is relatively insoluble and will be slowly available to the plant but will offset any of the acidity that the compost has added. If you do a pH test on your own you are only going to get half of the story, so be weary of the results. The pH of the soil is affected by many things, the plant, the soil type and the organic matter. The plant and the organic matter can be measured the simple way but the soil part you need to do something different (namely an exchange) in order to get the value. The soil clay acts in the same way as your water softener, in that it has the capacity to hold a variety of positively charged ions (Ca, Mg, K, H, Na, NH4)and will exchange those with the soil solution thus making them available to the plant. themedicinalpepper.com Here is a link that might be useful: The Medicinal Pepper...See Morestrange purple 'ink' on my pepper leaves
Comments (7)Darylltx: I don't know about the purple, but recently I read somewhere that you don't want to spray pesticides on plants when the temp and humidity add up to over 140. I would find that very frustrating in places like TX and OK where you guys get temps in the high 90's and high humidity for weeks on end. Integrated Pest Management sounds like the BEST way to control pests, but it seems like it would be pretty pricy if one wanted to release a diverse variety of beneficials....See Morepeel
