Help: Cucumber leaves are changing shape
Comments (7)Thank you for your reply. I am just guessing at the mosaic virus diagnosis because the leaves are deformed. Also, my runner beans for sure have some type of mosaic virus, and I think they are all ruined. I am not sure if that is something that can spread between species or not? We don't use any herbicide in our yard or garden and the placement of the garden is pretty far from our neighbors. This same thing happened to my cucumber vines last year planted in a completely different location and completely different seeds. This is such a puzzle, but I am hoping they are not ruined. I am conflicted between taking out the affected vines and trying to save what I can or seeing what happens. The picture below shows the vines as they started. The picture of the deformed leaf is the newest growth. I will try to get some pictures showing the whole area tomorrow. Thanks again for brainstorming with me!...See MoreTree leaves won't change color or fall
Comments (5)Most of mine have changed with the exception of 1 Jap Maple,1 sawtooth oak, and 1 english oak, the 2 oaks are still green. We had a good frost a couple days ago too, it is evident on some of the plants, but these 2 are being stubborn.I promised the Eng Oak to the neighbor because there are 2 Eng oak in the same spot from seed so I don't waste a good tree I'm waiting for dormancy and it is taking it sweet ol time. But the reason for it, since the 3 trees are very close to each other, must be that the location is sheltered from wind in a sort of courtyard type location, high wood fence, building and Nor spruce blocking wind. If you have a microclimate too, maybe that can explain it, if not sorry I couldn't help....See MoreHelp! My spinach, swiss chard, and beet leaves are changing color
Comments (1)Leafminers. Part of the life cycle is in the soil. So, next time you plant, do so in an entirely different place and immediately use row cover to protect them from the egg-laying adults....See MoreSuggestions for trees with leaves that will change color in early fall
Comments (13)The American smoke tree pictured above is 8 ft tall, and as well as I can remember it's probably about 10/12 years old. Edit: Since dear sweet hubby Bob was going that way I asked him to guestimate the height of tree between the side fence and the swing. After a while he came back in and proudly announced "Seven ft, eleven and a fourth inch." I thought "Hmmm, I would have guestimated it was much taller than that", but figured that he had gotten the tape measure to be sure. Well, I just went out there and see that he measured the Satsuma which is indeed right behind the swing and about 8 ft tall. Since the American smoke tree is taller than the garage I'd guess it's about 14 ft. I'm not going to tell him ... LOL...See MoreDana Smith
