Windy -- It could be that your daisies are getting TOO much water. Too much
water can look like not enough water. To tell the difference, feel the
leaves (the unaffected parts, not the dead parts, of course). If they are
dry and brittle it could be they need water. If the leaves and stems feel
succulent it is probably a case of overwatering. I'm guessing too much
moisture might be the problem because this particular species, Leucanthemum
vulgare, needs good drainage and likes it on the dry side. --Janis
