Thanks Sandy for the encouraging news. Eureka would be a better climate
for fuschias I'd think, than pelargoniums. (Maybe that's why they have all

No I never even heard of a natural fungicide. I used to be on the Gardens
Alive mailing list but didn't pay much attention to their products.
Has anyone had experience with liquid kelp as a growth stimulator?
