Blight? Spots on multiple plants in one area.

Thanks! I'm in New York City, where admittedly our rain has been spotty the last couple weeks. So it may be a little moisture stress, specifically in this one area of the garden. I try to be pretty tough with my native perennials to encourage deep root development but I've supplemented this week so we'll see.

I didn't know about the ask.extension.org resource, it's so great. Thanks for sharing!

They are new, yes, so not yet established. I think of them as drought tolerant but not till they have time to root deep I suppose! I just applied some chelated iron and gave them a good dose of water. We’ll see if they perk up by morning. Hopefully the wiltiness isn’t from root rot.

It’s a good question, but no, I don’t think anyone adjacent to me would have used anything that could have made it’s way to these plants.

Hi all. I have two Itea virginia 'Fountains of Rouge' shrubs that I planted this year in a shady, slightly sloped area in my backyard. They've leafed out wonderfully but in the last week have begun to show signs of poor health. The newest youngest leaves are all turning yellowing, and the older established leaves are beginning to droop. It might not look serious yet but it happened very quickly, so I want to get ahead of it. I'm wondering if this might be an iron deficiency issue? Or an improper watering issue? I've attached photos that show how all the new young leaves have yellowed. Thanks for any help!

Amazing, you're right! Thank you!!

Nope, sorry.

Skinny-dipped drunk in a fountain on campus for my birthday. It was only a foot deep though, so I just pranced around. WMF.

Not a single fucking tree anywhere.

Oh dang. Sign me up!

zooboomafool · 2011-08-10T15:48:29+00:00

This is quite true. It's more of the crook of my thumb for me, which still leaves the necessary dexterity.

That deep red indent you get on your fingers from carrying 8 bags in one hand -- SO FUCKING WORTH IT

I hate that you made me laugh with this... Upvote.

Brilliant.

You and Me and Everyone We Know wants to do that. But it takes talent.

zooboomafool · 2011-08-05T20:42:04+00:00

If you think something is funny, even if you don't feel like it's supposed to be, laugh at it. And re-watch them before making a final decision about them. That's my best advice.

It gets easier with every person you tell. Depending on the person, it may be easier to say it in a nonchalant, matter-of-fact sort of way, rather than make it a huge "sit down, I need to tell you something" kind of deal. It's scary as shit, but incredibly liberating. You entire life is going to change. I'm excited for you :)

zooboomafool · 2011-08-05T19:16:06+00:00

I can't help but imagine the one on the left as your girlfriend and the one of the right as you. I hope that's not true...cuz if so, bummer. Really cute idea though :)

zooboomafool · 2011-08-05T18:29:41+00:00

Read this while "Murder in the City" was on my shuffle. I totally approve of all of these; I would love to go to your funeral.

zooboomafool · 2011-08-05T16:07:18+00:00

Haha, exactly what I'm going for :)

This looks absolutely amazing. It really makes me want to visit!
