you're right, ward, I found mine lying down on top of the hibiscus after the rains from dennis blew through here. I staked it with a broken shovel handle, which it promptly pulled to the ground, too. that plant is heavy. I put the handle back up and put a rock the size of a shoebox at the base of it, which is working. give this thing some swingin room, folks. ward, can you teach me how/when to collect seed from tithonia?

The two major fungal foliage pathogens are Early Blight ( A. solani) and Septoria Leaf Spot, and it looks like the latter to me. For sure it isn't A. solani and it isn't either Bacterial Speck or Spot. Please go to Google, select images, enter Septoria Leaf Spot and see if it resembles what you have. You can also go to the Tomato Pest and Disease Forum, link at the top of thios page, look for the thread titled Problem Solver #2 and in the following posts find the link to TAMU for pictures and other links and resources. My suggestion is to ASAP get Ortho Disease Control and spray with that. It's Daconil which is very effective against tomato fungal foliage pathogens. But it's best used as a preventative, not a cure, but at least you can protect the new foliage. Carolyn

Thanks, I did some research yesterday and was hoping that they were cedar waxwings, I never get anything in my yard but blujays, cardinals, starlings, blackbirds, and house sparrows, so I was excited to have a different species! LOL, i don't mind if anyone looks at my photobucket pics, they are probably all pretty boring anyway, lol. THanks! I am going to try to attract some more cedar waxwings to my yard, but i think they are only in my area during winter, if i remember correctly, thanks again.

When you double click on the photo, does it come up postage stamp size? Or is it just when you're looking in the folder where the photos are? If it's the latter, it's just the "view" you're using. When you are in the photos folder, look at the menu bar across the top of the screen. Click on View to get the drop-down menu. Change the setting --
