Just wondering if anyone knows that this might be?
If harmful to my plant? Doesn't bother me if it's not going to hurt the plant.
If yes a 'green' way to get rid of it?
As always...thank you SO much!!

i used to know the name of the different leaf spot diseases. it's a fungal disease and in most cases does not really hurt the plant. you can try a spray solution of baking soda and water or spray with a low fat milk. either one may help.

I've changed over to Potassium Bicarbonate for fungal control, it's less harsh to plant material and soil organisms than Baking Soda. Other controls are Plant Wash, Whole Ground Corn Meal Water (sprinkle dry corn meal at the base of plants on the ground - and more.

www.dirtdoctor.com/ ...Howard Garrett's web site has an extensive library on organic methods of disease prevention and control and formulas one can use.

i used PB when i had a lot of roses. it does work well. i bought mine on amazon; it came in big bags of dried powder. a lot cheaper that way.
