I bought a discounted mystery Austin & it has a mystery disease
Comments (6)The overall bush looks like a climber to me--perhaps The Pilgrim climber? Or maybe Teasing Georgia which is a bit more full-colored than The Pilgrim is (though I've never seen them side-by-side, so I may not know what I'm talking about there). It will be interesting, when the plant has several years of maturity, to see what you have there. Kind of a fun mystery. Kate...See MoreMystery Disease Harbouring over my poor mint.
Comments (1)I have grown mint for many, many years and have seen the leaf spots that you describe. I have no worries. When harvesting, I simply avoid taking these leaves. Your plants need time to become established before you can harvest for your use. Leave room around the plants for the establishment of runners. I anticipate that you will be overrun with mint next year and can pick and choose the healthiest leaves for your kitchen....See MoreMystery tomato disease
Comments (6)Thanks all. Lycopenequest, I spray in the early morning before the sun hits the plants. It isn't chemical drift from nearby, I lost almost all my tomatoes one year from herbicide damage, so know what that looks like. I am beginning to think Linda is right and this is Grey Mold. This plant sits in the back of the garden so gets much less wind and airflow than the other plants. I am getting a touch of it on the other plants, but I am able for some reason to contain it on those. The dwarf with the very dense foliage started out with white spots and then got the brown areas with visible fuzzy growth. But the end result of the leaves looks identical. So I think it must be grey mold and probably this plant suffered more as it was at the back of my garden. Thanks all,...See MoreMy only succulent is a mystery succulent pls help
Comments (4)It is very small to correctly ID. Was it always so small? If not, do you have 'before' photo? In 4 mo, it should be quite a bit bigger. What I can tell you for sure, it needs to be repotted into much better substrate; in a clean pot (same one is most likely plenty enough in size but needs/should be washed thoroughly); pot should have drainage holes (I am assuming this one does); pot should be filled with mix much higher so plant is not lost inside of it (not helpful for few reasons); and it needs plenty of sun. If you are able and willing to make these changes - plant will grow and soon could be ID-ed. Btw, all improvements I pointed out would apply for growing almost all succulents, regardless proper names:)...See MoreJohn Haw
