Strange leaf issue on my pepper and tomato plants
Comments (56)It sounds like you all have it figured out and all the advice is excellent as far as I can tell. I just couldn't help but agree that it absolutely looks like clopyralid or amiopyralid damage. I had a bad bout with it 3-4 years ago when all my homemade potting soil got contaminated by well composted alpaca manure. It took over a month to figure it out and I lost a bundle of valuable crops in the process. Clopyralid based herbicides have been banned in Oregon except for use on golf courses but then Dow chemical just comes out with Milestone which is amiopyralid instead. It's the same exact problem just with another chemical. To the OP, i'm afraid there really isn't anything you can do for the plants. If the cause is the manure, at least you're not contaminated forever. In the soil the chemicals do break down in a few months. But if left above ground the herbicide can last for years and damage sensitive plants (mostly tomato, potato, legumes) at tiny amounts (parts per million). Oh, I looked into a soil test for herbicide and it was extremely expensive. It's not an average soil test. Seeding some beans or peas is an excellent idea to determine if there's residue. -Mark This post was edited by madroneb on Tue, Jun 25, 13 at 23:20...See MoreSouthern Queenslanders
Comments (12)They're having another Open Day at The Olive Branch Brom Nursery! I stuck my name on their mailing list at their last one, and got a flier in the mail today for their next one, so just passing the info on for anyone else who may be interested. 6th & 7th of October, 9am - 4pm 234 Canvey Rd, Ferny Grove. Also, while I'm here, I may as well mention the Bromeliad Bonanza at Mt Coot-tha Gardens Auditorium, being put on by the Brom Soc of QLD. Sat 10th Nov: 8am - 4pm Sunday 11th Nov: 9am - 3pm Admission: Adults $3, kids under 14 free. I'd been planning on saving myself for a little bit of a spending spree at that one in Nov, so haven't even been looking at what's on offer on ebay recently, but now along comes Olive to tempt me with another sale as well! LOL She had great plants at great prices last time, so hopefully I'll be able to make it along....See MoreSome daylilies flowering in Australia at present
Comments (15)It is so nice to know that daylilies are blooming somewhere in the world:) Really like that Splendid Touch x Patmfsud seedling. The flowers in the background look like a great companion plant. These are so pretty and I see the sun shining in the back of the Solar Max seedling. It just warmed me up. It's not terribly cold here in southern Indiana/USA yet, but dreary, wet, and windy. Thanks for brightening my day! Vickie...See MoreQueensland Bottle Tree in Corpus Christi?
Comments (3)I'd give it a shot and cover the tree when young. South wall protection cannot be utilized because of their large mature size. The tree can be grown in Tucson, which is also zone 9b. Strangely, this species is not mentioned in the book Plants for Subtropical Texas, a Palm Society of South Texas publication.
