Powdery mildew on pumpkin leaves?
Comments (4)Yeah, I wonder what makes pumpkin plants mottle their leaves like this? Maybe aphids or other plant harming insects think it resembles a moth or something harmful to them....See MoreEating collards and leaves with powdery mildew?
Comments (3)Agree. I wouldn't eat them raw of course and I know some folks have gone to using those commercial vegetable washing soaps available like Fit etc. even tho studies show they aren't any more effective than plain water. I just briefly soak in lightly salted water, rinse well, and cook them. Best Ways to Wash Fruits and Vegetables Dave...See MoreIs this downy mildew? What is wrong with rose leaves
Comments (8)I do not know what it is but mine have it also. Horrible spring weather. Very little sun, too many drippy days and cold. I did receive downey mildew thru the mail this year. This was the first time I had ever seen it. The box and I ran for cover after opening. Here is the best that I can say. Downey mildew does not cross main veins. It will travel in-between them. Then something I never knew before was to turn the leaves over. Then look for the sparsa spores. If it is downey mildew it will be there. On the underside of the leaf below the downey patches there will be white patches of spores. They can be hard to see so I used a magnifying glass. They look like tiny little white dots in patches. Yes my new rose had downey mildew. My leaves that look like yours do not have the sparsa on the back. Now is the perfect weather for black spot and anthracnose and my roses are now getting both. I've been no spray for quite a few years now and only purchase the healthiest of roses. Will sad to say that does not mean that they won't get anthracnose. I did learn last year that if I did nothing it was very hard on the roses. Maybe since conditions stayed good for anthracnose nearly all of last year. In order to get things under control I have already sprayed this season with Bayer disease control (not 3 in one). Good luck in your quest to keep your roses healthy. I'll report back if I have any luck. I'm afraid if I delete this 2nd comment that both will disappear so I'll leave it....See MoreJade plant has wrinkled leaves after treatment for Powdery Mildew
Comments (14)I am looking at the photo from May 16th (I didn't notice it before) and that looks like some bugs. And you say they came back. Can't tell for sure what they are, but they look like scale. I am surprised, have not seen scale on jades yet (maybe just my luck?) and I have grown many of them over the years. Anyway, test if scale: take a q-tip or cotton ball or even soft tissue or rag. Moisten in rubbing alcohol and wipe over the 'thing'. Do not 'push' hard; if scale, it will die on contact and comes off very easily. Scale is quite regular in shape, circle or oval, just slightly raised in the center. Google photos of scale and you'll see how they look. They do not move, rather stay in same spot. Almost as they are glued to the plant. You could scrape scale off easily with your fingernails...I prefer the wiping. Don't like dead bugs under my fingernails, lol. If you try that, it also should come off easily. If you have to scrape hard to the point of damaging leaves, it isn't scale IMO....See Moreseasiderooftop
