After a fairly uneventful week, just a few bugs here and there, I found
trouble today. I've found a few squash bugs and some cucumber beetles, but
have them under control; none of the dreaded SVBs. Today I saw shriveled
leaves and found a yellow stem which was split open and full of stinky
yellow-orange stuff. I ran to the house, got a knife and amputated the nasty
stem and sprayed it heavily with strong bleach/water solution. I noticed
several other stems on other plants now have the same yellow-looking stems.
If anyone can offer me some help, I'd appreciate it. Too much water, not
enough water, Sevin damage?, bugs, mildew, or what??? Thank you. And did I
do the right thing by amputating?
Also, I have a few leaves on a few vines that are yellowing from the edges
in. Not all leaves on any plant are affected, and not all plants are affected
at all. I'm wondering if the two events are related and if there's anything I
can do at this point to save the day. Thank you.
cheers,
duchess of gladstone
