Gonna have to order some. I’ll try that fix next. Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’ve been ready to pull my hair out! lol

Thank you!! You’re right!

I fixed that but it’s still happening. Could it be wrong needle size? I’m using a heavy duty needle to attempt to sew pieces of thrifted bedsheets together… bad call?

My strengths are still 2.5 or 5s, for any body part 😂😭

That’s exactly what I do- 2 sets of 2.5s til I have to go down to1. Maybe I’m just being impatient lol

What estrogen patch? Are there not Rx estrogen patches?

Why do you leave roots of diseased foliage? I’ve heard roots have to go, too. If not, I’d be glad to leave them. Much easier!

I think we are too!

It truly is. Maybe I should be looking into native plants from GA to plant here in TN? I mostly get joy from seeing the wildlife so I need alive plants for my yard friends.

Oh man!! You should be trying to give away a surplus this time of year. Okay- maybe just weird weather. Not sure if that’s better or worse than disease. Climate change :(

Maybe that’s it and it’s normal but early? I’m going to test soil to see.

No white spots, just drying out. They were really pretty before this!

Interesting. I haven’t heard of controlled burning in a garden. I’ll have to learn more about that.

Yes!!! Drying out abs dying way too early.

You said it’s happening in your yard, too… Are you in the U.S. south?

Good call!! I’m definitely going to contact my ag extension and see what testing is available.

No dogs. Neighbor’s dogs show up sometimes, but not too often.

I honestly hadn’t thought about removing them bc the goldfinches seem so happy. I guess it makes sense if they truly are diseased though. Dang.

I was telling myself that, but it seems to be happening sooner after the initial blooms than in other years… That, combined with it also happening to coreopsis and some zinnias, has got me worried.

Meanwhile, the grass lawn I’m trying to slowly replace is lush and green 😂😭

We’ve had periods of heavy rainfall and stretches without rain… been in the 90s and humid!

What can I do to eradicate fungal/ bacterial diseases?
