I have several with leaves that are still upright but turning a golden color

I do not want to be an alarmist, but I have concluded that the phenomenom you
describe is not due solely to our rather unusual spring and summer weather.
Nor to Southern Blight. Rather, I fear that it is the Golden Nematode at its
most horrible and devastating work.
Foliar nematodes are endemic this year---next year, I sadly
predict,---epidemic.
