Garlic Question - lower leaves brownish
Comments (3)I concur with Garlic Lady's prognosis. I've been growing garlic here in the Piedmont for several years (though I am on a microscopic-scale compared to Garlic Lady :^) ), and I always get some "winter burn" because the garlic grows so well in the fall before the hard freezes kick in. Right now, every single one of my garlic (3 varieties, about 60-70 plants in all) has brown tips and/or dead side leaves. I worry not! Oh, and as far as watering, I wouldn't do it more than once a week (and only if you haven't gotten any rain)(which we have, so far)(yey!). Cheers! - Jerry...See MoreBrownish Leaves on Little Cado??
Comments (4)Thanks Jean! I had NO idea the reddish brown tinge was normal for new growth. We will definitely be watering it properly...maybe it was a little dry at the nursery. I have been checking the soil to make sure it's moist but not over-watered. I moved it to the one part of the deck that gets partial shade. Hopefully that will help! We bought a Little Cado/Wurtz variety b/c it could live in a pot. We don't have a yard, so therefore we can't grow it in the ground. We have a decent sized patio/deck at our condo. It has been a dream of mine to have an avocado tree but I assumed that wasn't possible until a gardener recommended the Little Cado variety to me!...See MoreAutumn Blaze Red Maple - normal spring growth?
Comments (1)Looks normal to me. The new leaves normally hang down for a week or so before opening up. At first they look as if they are wilting. Mike...See Moremy hydrangeas leave turning red brownish without any sign of flowering
Comments (2)If you are growing these plants in just 100% peat moss, then it is extremely likely you do have nutrient deficiencies - peat has virtually NO nutritive value. But this is very often the case with any container grown plant - container 'soils' generally have components that possess minimal, if any, nutrient levels. All nutrient needs must be supplied by the grower via fertilization. But there are other reasons aside from nutrient availability than can affect blooming, including the age of the plant, seasonality (the plant's internal calendar), vernalization (an appropriate chill period) and how it was propagated or if any pruning has been done. It sounds very much like your set-up is similar to that of greenhouse grown hydrangeas and greenhouse grown hydrangeas tend to be on a rigorous course of fertilization, growth hormones and light/temperature manipulation to encourage them to bloom early and out of season....See MoreTheyCallMeDave
