A few of my African Violet plant have a new problem, interested?
Comments (3)Probably the most important thing now is to make sure of your diagnosis. Pictures might help to make sure. Botrytis Blight or Gray Mold has a gray, fuzzy coating on older plant material. Spores begin the infection and can remain in the soil during the winter. At times the young center leaves turn grayish and hair may become abnormally long. Botrytis can kill the plant. First thing to do would be to isolate the plant or plants from your main collection. Increase air circulation to the area. Remove all fading flowers or leaves. Lower your humidity if possible. Keep room temperature even and warm. Do not over fertilize. Leaves of plants should not touch. You can use the homemade treatment as suggested above. One tablespoon bleach in one gallon warm water sprayed over foliage. If you have only a few plants affected just remove them and see what happens. If many are affected in your collection you may want to buy Benomyl. You can also purchase sulfer from the drug store. Put this in little pots around your plants. Check your rootball just to make sure this is not root or crown rot. Nancy...See MoreOK Glenda and Moni! The pic of my dinner!
Comments (9)I did use a quarter pickle in each one, plus some caramelized onions and mushrooms, and a slice of bacon. After searing on all sides, I added a Rouledan sauce mix and a half cup of red wine. It was sooooooo good! Deej says for me to make it anytime, absolutely anytime! I'm a good cook but he doesn't usually rave like that! What really surprised me most was that he liked the spaetzle which is a German type of noodle, and he hates any type of pasta! There's one more serving but I promised it to my DM. I'm visiting her tomorrow, so Deej is out of luck. We've been to German restaurants before and he was never that enthusiastic, so I'm so pleased he liked this meal!...See MoreBragging about my bicycle rider (Moni, come look!)
Comments (11)I know what you mean about being a slug, altho I walked the dogs and went to the AC gym today. But my daughter ran 12 miles today in training for the NYC marathon and my son rode 100 miles on his bike thru the woods here in PA in a race. He said there was lightning half way thru the race. It was in the mid 90's but is only 70 now, thank heavens....See MoreMoni, Thursday's Red, and my Blog....
