There is no magic bullet and there is no conspiracy. Sanitation and  crop 
rotation are the answers right now. Overplanting impatiens combined with  the 
perfect storm of weather and it was off to a running start before we even  
looked up. The spores can live up to 3 years in the soil so everyone will 
have  to look for something else. We in western Pennsylvania are promoting 
begonia but  also the new SunPatiens.

Is it just me...or has anyone else  noticed that Impatiens have been 
selling
extremely "cheap" at many garden  centers the last few years? At least this
is true in Michigan.

Where  have the garden centers obtained these at low enough prices to  
provide
them at a very low price to the public or as a loss  leader?

Now we have this horrendous problem. Is there some  connection?

I don't believe in coincidence...
