Snapple, Just an update. The Rhodo looks like a goner. I'm not really sure. The Laurel is struggling to survive. My soil was very deficient in Iron. I added Green Sand to the bed. Most of my Rhodos, Azaleas, Hydrangea and Laurels started getting very chlorotic after all of the weeks of rain, so they all got the Green Sand treatment. I also have an Iron foliar spray that I may apply soon.

As I've been planting new shrubs in these families, I've been planting them in wire cages that I've made to vole proof them. The June Bugs ate giant holes in the Rhodos leaves, big as quarters, but they still seem to be doing well.

Do you use Messenger? I may try it on them. I also read that fish emulsion can cure lots of plant ails. Have you used it?

Cheryl, if you're still watching, I'd be interested to hear how your Laurel is doing.
