Early in the season, when we still had RAIN, I painted lots of the leaves
of the vile potato vine with Round-Up. I used this tedious method of
application because is has interspersed itself with myrtle. The Round-Up
did a moderately effective job of killing the potato vine and the myrtle
seemed to have been spared damage. Now I notice the myrtle in that area
looks unusually stressed. All the myrtle is stressed from lack of rain but
this area looks nearer death. Is it possible since the two plants were so
close together that some of the Round-Up transferred from the potato vine
roots to the myrtle roots?
For the record, when I refer to "myrtle" it can be translated "vinca minor"
and/or "periwinkle".
