Hello,
I have restarted my front lawn last fall. This spring I am seeing some worrying signs - yellowing.
I fertlized mid-April. Any idea what this might be?
I have been watering once a week since we have been getting rain almost weekly here in north-NYC area.

Comments (3)Pretty good link, thanks. Good call on the slime mold, too. That looks a little more like the problem, except what I am seeing is less of a protruding nodule, and more flat against the blades. Anyway, it was a neighbor's lawn and he is having the lawn service come out to ID it. We'll see how close I came....See MoreHeritage Raspberry Disease Identification HELP?
Comments (5)I got them from tractor supply and the first year they looked good. But the last two years they look like they are in rough shape. I thought maybe it was a root issue so I moved them to my raised beds in 5-1-1 to see if they bounce back. Should I just destroy them?...See MoreCalifornia Lilac disease identification
Comments (0)Hi, We planted some ceanothus this past winter (I realize now that we should have planted in the fall), and have been struggling to keep them alive. I read they don't like summer water, but when I've tried tapering off the watering all their tips droop on hot days (one died and dried out), so instead I've tried to be adaptive and water when they feel dried out. However, one of the lilacs lost half its branches last week, and when I went to remove them and have a closer look, I noticed the trunk was discolored and dotted with sap/resin/something - photo below. Does anyone recognize what's happening here? Possibly relevant: it's been under attack by black and brown aphids of various sorts. Been keeping them under control via manual removal. - Jw...See Morerose disease identification
Comments (4)It looks like chili thrips. An excerpt from below link: "Misshapen, Distorted, Bronzed New Foliage. Chilli thrips attack fresh new foliage as well as buds. Look for bronzing on the underside of new misshapen foliage. This is a very hard pest to control. You must cut out and bag all new growth and may need to spray with Spinosad." https://www.rose.org/single-post/2020/06/16/Learn-to-Read-the-Leaves#:~:text=Molybdenum%20Deficiency%20may%20be%20indicated%20when%20the%20youngest,the%20cause%20of%20young%20leaves%20developing%20light%20edges....See Morekjeliaz
