I have 2 of my brugs that are sick. Some leaves look like they have been burnt. I've picked off several but now it's back. I've been spraying and feeding all of them and these 2 are the only ones with a problem. Could it be to much sun, food, water or lack of? Any ideas!!!!! Thanks, George
And this one has one leaf on top that died and rolled up. Help!!!
Just a guess, but I think it is the heat. I've had a couple with the dead leaves, just today and it is really hot and sunny out there.
Brugie, could be since we have been in the 90s for the past 8 days and they are calling for 7 more days of the same, and no rain!
They look great otherwise,it may be the heat.
I agree, that it is the heat. They look healthy.
PG... don't worry about it, same thing is happening on this end. the temperature here the past few days was/is 100ºF, real feel is 105ºF [lucky if we have 10% humidity, dry winds blasting too!] , it is even affecting my bp, if u want to know the truth. i can only go outside during early morning and very late afternoon.
Thanks all, I feel better now and I'll try to shade them more. MaVieRose, it sure is hot there, at 6:30, it's 93 here and 60% humidity and no breeze. I just went out to water and now I'm soaked, and not from the hose pipe.
i heard u PG :)! i do not go out till about 8 p.m. Pacific Time, and the temp about that time would be still 80ºF. so i am watering at night till nearly 10 p.m. yeah it gets dark but there is a big mercury vapor lamp on the barn that shed light on the back garden area. yeah we are in the midst of summer now!!!
Hey George, if you have a Big Lots near you, check out their beach umbrellas for some quick shade. Ours are $6 and can be pounded into the dirt. Might look a tad tacky for a bit, but it does provide some relief. I know I'll use them again for seedlings, transplants and hardening off.
Thanks Vi, that's a good idea.
