Re: Re:CULT-TMV danger to iris

Thanks, Jim, I feel better already. I will spray as you say. I am glad we
discarded the tomatoes though. One of our iris beds is adjoining the area
where the azaleas and rhodies are planted. We have one large, and I do mean
Large white rhododendron that we have had for close to 40 years that seems
to be fine and free of trouble. We added two other, a purple and a pink that
are doing fine. We lost a red one planted at the same time. Don't think the
red are as hardy? Now , we added the two I  mentioned worrying about, and
two others. We are trying to get the woodsy area planted into a shade
garden. Have spidderwart, hostas, campanulas, lots of ginger and trilliums,
and helebores in there. Some viburnum, hemlock, pines and cherries were
already there, as were magnolias, hollies, dogwoods and a couple cedars. We
did cut out one deseased cherry and sprayed the others for precaution and
sprayed one tent caterpillar web. I know cherries are a problem for those,
but they are beautiful trees and the birds love them! Thanks again for your
help with the 'leaf gall'. Now I am wondering if it could have come from the
cherry we cut out. It had a black galled knot like in one of its largest
branches. What do you think? We actually removed it during the same week we
put in the plants. Can't remember if it was just before or just after we
planted them. Hummm. Sorry for the long post. Nothing gets me talking like
my garden!!!
