They have decimated my Digitalis this year.<br /><br />Chloe M.Chloe Margueritehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04978436995877288677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-74711131602096338802009-05-13T11:23:00.000-05:002009-05-13T11:23:00.000-05:00ugh, powdery mildew... I have not had a year yet that all my sage isn't just covered with it. Is it just me, or does that happen to everyone else's sage as well?Nathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15987068526094555577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-76369851045654104792009-05-13T10:17:00.000-05:002009-05-13T10:17:00.000-05:00I've been really disappointed in Marie Pavie. Unlike many of her fellow old garden roses, she looks very shabby due to blackspot. It makes me feel better to know other gardeners are battling that problem with her, too.Cindy, MCOKhttp://texascottagegarden.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-69570668323617310532009-05-12T19:05:00.000-05:002009-05-12T19:05:00.000-05:00So far it hasn't reached my Hyacinth bean vine. But it has my potato vine and red daisies. I'm wondering what has gotten to my foxglove. A week ago it was gorgeous. Now the leaves are bleached out looking...<br />BrendaBrendahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14544794729410559072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-6466293283169665402009-05-12T15:59:00.000-05:002009-05-12T15:59:00.000-05:00Gardening is so much about the good with the bad isn't it?Layaneehttp://ledgeandgardens.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-37339400915444216102009-05-11T21:16:00.000-05:002009-05-11T21:16:00.000-05:00So sorry! I just noticed slug damage today! Oh, crud! It's not enough that the rains beat the heck out of the PPPP, but now slugs! gailGailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-68181085891783309912009-05-11T19:10:00.000-05:002009-05-11T19:10:00.000-05:00Hi Janet, slugfest is right. There is not an un chewed leaf on my entire property. They are on everything. I would say yes to the jalepeno pepper damage too. Sigh. I have seen the birds picking the slugs off the plants and shredding the leaves in the process too. I don't want to complain about the rain about the drought we have had, so I won't. :-)<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-65143736809683675942009-05-11T15:28:00.000-05:002009-05-11T15:28:00.000-05:00Sorry about your slug problem - I sympathise! The damage on your jalapeno looks more like some insect munching though rather than slugs.<br /><br />Tomorrow I'm going to try the chimney soot remedy for my black spot. This involves, you've guessed it, dusting some soot from inside the chimney and applying to the soil. I've never tried it before. I suppose you don't have a coal-burning fireplace in your house? I thought not!Ruth@VShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10916105949679010328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547783720122066148.post-19911593335862762242009-05-11T14:44:00.000-05:002009-05-11T14:44:00.000-05:00This post made me smile even though I know the situation isn't funny. Those little slugs get blamed for any kind of chewing that goes on, don't they? And fungi and blackspot....my goodness, you have your hands full. May the sun shine on you and your garden.donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.com
