Comments (6)Usually sunburn is a winter problem and is on old leaves. If the sunburn is on new leaves, then it may be a nutrient problem. Wind and cold damage is indicated when the edges of the leaves become distorted and turn brown. This occurs frequently in plants that may be in a colder climate than recommended or in a location with severe exposure. Provide protection from winter winds and winter sun. Note, boron poisoning or fertilizer burn will create the same symptoms except uniformly over the plant rather than just on areas exposed to the sun and wind. Large leaved rhododendrons are susceptible to sunscald if the plants do not receive enough moisture before the soil freezes. The leaves curl in cold winter weather, exposing the central part of the leaf but not the edges, resulting in the area near the main vein becomes desiccated and turns brown. To prevent this, water plants thoroughly before the first hard frost, protect from drying winds, apply mulch, and locate in partial shade. Yellowing of leaves surfaces, often with brownish burned areas, occurring on leaves that are more exposed to sun, is caused by more sun exposure than the plant is able to tolerate. Some varieties need shade, while all plants that have been protected from direct sun will be tender until hardened off by gradual exposure to sun light. Possible solutions are to give the plant more shade or move it to a more protected site. Uniformly yellowish-green leaves is often just the need for more nitrogen. This will be more noticeable in the full sun. Some less sun tolerant varieties will always be light green in full sun.

Comments (78)Had almost two weeks of overcast weather, with a goodly (for us, amyway) amount of rain. Now we are transitioning into clear skier and sunny weather, and the highs are supposed to get into the 80s tomorrow and Friday. Tempting to plant out. However, clear skies mean colder nights. Forecast calls for lows in mid/low 40s through early next week. And even though last night's low was only supposed to be 40, it got all the way down to 34 degrees, the birdbath froze over, and my marigolds got pretty well frosted. The other herbs didn't seem to mind, but I'd have been in some trouble if I'd given in and planted out. Average LFD is this coming Sunday. We'll see....See MoreCommunity Grow Out II 2016

Comments (37)I really didn't want to derail this thread with controversy early on, but since it's already Sunday.... I get it - in today's culture, this would never fly, but taken in the context of its time, I still think it's worthy of a mention in this category....See More- 7 years ago
