Painted lady,

Interesting theory! I have NEVER tested anything anywhere for PH.... I have had plants in this bed for years! First time for a Brug, though. My house is 35 years old. Are Brugs THAT sensitive to the PH? Anyone else have an opinion on this?

The Brug on this side is in a pot, half way into the ground and at least 2' from my house foundation. The Brug on the other side is about 2' further from the foundation--same kind. If there's any waterproofing, it would be from the days it was built. I have not added anything.

I don't want to blow this problem out of proportion, or bore you all with my questions, BUT--if I going to have all these kinds of problems, then this will be my first, and last year I am growing this plant!

For those of you that asked, I took some close-ups of the ends of the stems. Of course, by now, they are starting to leaf out again. Just seems so odd that all this happened!

I will try to download some pictures i took today. I seem to have some problems with this process. Well! here goes!!!!!

The first one is of the bad ends.
