Primer on plant problems, how to treat them! Part One
- Your garden is off to a great start this season and everything's looking great, you don't have a care in the world and then: Whack. All of a sudden your prize tomato plants are turning wicked colors of yellow or brown, perhaps dropping their leaves as we- DAMPING OFFSymptoms: Very young (newly seeded) flower and vegetable seedlings either fail to come up or rot off at soil level soon after the emerge.Cause: A variety of bad fungi (rhizoctona, fusarium, Phytophthora and a few others) that live in the upper layers of seed-starting (or garden soil) bed.Remedy: I think most gardeners know that using a sterilized potting mixture when planting seeds indoors is a fail-proof method in avoiding this type of disease problem, but what about outside in the open soil? There are a few things you can do, such as building raised beds to ensure good drainage (since these disease fungi are activated by damp soil). Also, compost has scientifically proven disease-fighting power that, when used as a seedbed material, drastically eliminates any chance of seedlings damping off. Just be sure to lay down about a one-inch layer over the bed and don't mix it into the soil. Plant your seed right on top of the mix. I also use sterilized soil-less mixtures to cover the seeds after planting to insure that they will sprout in a near-sterile environment.-POWDERY MILDEWSymptoms: Whitish-gray powdery coating on leaves, buds, and often blossoms of vegetables (cucumbers are notorious), and flowers (roses, lilacs and phlox). In severe cases, leaves may turn yellow and become deformed and buds may fail to open.Cause: Spores of bad fungi (erysiphe, sphaerotheca to name a few) that are spread by wind and encouraged by hot, dry days and cool nights .Remedy: You can save yourself plenty of headaches by choosing plant varieties that are resistant to powdery mildew if they are available. That not always being the case, you'll need to take other action. It actually thrives in dry conitions. A neat and easy trick is to actually spray the plants with a strong spray of water during the early stages of powdery mildew. This tactic alone might be enough to thwart an infection, as you will literally knock the disease spores off the plant. If that doesn't work, a great homemade solution to combat powdery mildew can be made by mixing one tablespoon of baking soda, one tablespoon of vegetable oil, and a single drop of dishwashing soap in one-gallon of water. Shake the mixture well and apply with a pump sprayer on the plants until they are saturated and dripping. This is a mixture that I'll use on vegetable crops, but often flowers and shrubs need stronger fungicide. Products like Immunox and Daconil work very well.- ANTHRACNOSESymptoms: Sunken spots (up to a half-inch in diameter) appear on the skin of ripe tomatoes affected by this disease. The center of the spots usually darkens and forms concentric rings.Cause: Colletotrichum coccodes fungus.Remedy: Anthracnose thrives in warm, wet conditions, so try and avoid overhead irrigation where possible. To prevent spreading the disease, do not work in the garden when plants are wet. Be sure to stake, trellis, or cage your tomato plants so that the fruit is kept away from the soil surface. Make sure to harvest tomatoes as soon as they are ripe and when you find an anthracnose-infected tomato (it's inedible by the way), be sure they are tossed into the garbage pail (do not compost).-RUSTSymptoms: Orange-yellow, brown, or purple pustules appear on the underside of leaves. Affects many types of plants, but beans, roses, geraniums, hollyhocks and snapdragons seem to catch the worst cases of rust. Eventually, the upper leaf surface becomes mottled with yellow patches, and the leaves shrivel and fall off. Severely infected plants become stunted and may die.Cause: Many species of fungi that belong to the Uredinales order.Remedy: This is a fungus that thrives in warm, wet conditions, so again, avoid overhead irrigation in favor of drip irrigation wherever you can. Water in the morning rather then sending the plants into the evening with wet foliage. Allow plenty of room for air to circulate and pluck any infected leaves as soon as you see them. Strict garden sanitation is important in controlling this disease. There are several chemical fungicide products to use in controlling rust, depending on the type of plant.

Primer on plant problems, how to treat them! Part TWO
- -BACTERIAL BLIGHTSymptoms: Small, water-soaked spots appear on vegetable leaves. The spots eventually get bigger and turn brown. The leaves either turn tallow and die slowly, or turn brown and rapidly fall off. In cool weather yellow halos may border the infected spots. Sometimes lone, reddish lesions show up on the stems as well.Cause: Xanthomonas and pseudomonas bacteria.Remedy: Like so many of the diseases we've talked about so far, this one also thrives (and spreads) in wet conditions, so minimize overhead watering and never work in a wet garden patch. Buy certified disease-free seed and use blight resistant varieties when available. Rotating crops also helps, and by rotating I mean keeping the same crops out of the soil where they grew previously for at least two years. Be sure and clean up plant debris at the end of the season. Unfortunately, there are no chemical controls for bacterial blight.-CLUBROOTSymptoms: Abnormal enlargement and distortion of roots of plants in the crucifer family. Cabbage and Brussels sprouts are most susceptible, followed by broccoli, cauliflower, etc. Lowest leaves may turn yellow and drop off. Yield is usually greatly reduced, but in very favorable soil conditions the symptoms may not even be noticed until the plants are pulled up and the roots examined after harvest.Cause: Soil borne Plasmodiophora brassicae fungus.Remedy: Keep soil beds well drained by adding lots of organic matter since clubroot thrives in soils that are cool, wet, and heavy. I always make sure that the soil pH is above 7.2 for these crops as well, since a high pH has been shown to inhibit clubroot. Long crop rotations (up to seven years) works well, though it is often not practical nor possible.-BLACKSPOTSymptoms: Rose leaves develop circular black spots up to a half-inch in diameter. Leaves turn yellow and drop off. The flowers themselves are usually not affected.Cause: Diplocarpon rosae fungus.Remedy: Blackspot is usually not a fatal disease, but affected plants often try to grow replacement foliage late in the season and that new growth may suffer cold damage when frost hits. The best way to minimize blackspot is to plant resistant varieties and avoid overhead watering because the disease thrives on wet foliage. Cut the bushes back hard in the spring to remove any canes that may have blackspot fungus on them and to improve air circulation. Remove old mulches and apply a thick new mulch around each bush after you give the roses their first feeding this will serve as a barrier between any blackspot fungus on the ground and the newly developing rose leaves. I've had excellent results with controlling and curing blackspot (seemingly overnight) with the "Fermented Salmon" liquid foliar spray. No one seems to be able to explain to me how or why it works so well in controlling this disease, but have my own theory as to why that I'm currently experimenting with (results to be published later!). Otherwise, there are many reliable, commercially available rose sprays that contain various fungicide ingredients if you don't mind using these products in your garden. The key is vigilant spraying throughout the growing season.-GRAY MOLDSymptoms: Fruit, vegetables and flowers are all affected. Leaves, flowers and fruit (green or ripe) especially near the soil in the densest area of the leaf canopy turn light brown and develop a gray fuzzy covering. Gray mold will often sprout on soft ripe fruits like strawberries and raspberries after they have been picked.Cause: Botrytis cinerea fungus.Remedy: Sanitation is more important than anything in reducing the chances of gray mold from developing. As you walk around the flower garden, the vegetable patch, the fruit trees, pick and destroy all fading flowers and blighted foliage, remove and destroy and diseased leaves, blossoms or fallen fruits. It is also important to space your plants far enough apart so that sunshine and air can penetrate the entire plant. Harvest fruits in advance of rainy, humid and cool conditions whenever possible. Use mulches like pine needles in strawberry beds to keep the fruit off the ground. Fungicides like Captan or chlorothalonil work well to eliminate gray mold.There are many more possible plant disease that can affect your garden such as Fusarium and Verticillium wilt, early and late blights, scab, leaf curl, brown rot, apple scab, fire blight, cucumber mosaic and so on. A good deal of plant diseases can be avoided by simply using good cultural practices, that is, avoiding over-head watering, providing plenty of air circulation between plants (that means dividing perennials on a regular basis!), maintaining a good healthy soil structure with lots of organic matter, regular weeding and keeping a spotless sanitary garden by quickly removing any spent or diseased plant tissue.

Finding a florist
- The timeline for finding a florist, ideally, is 9 to 12 months prior to your wedding. Many florists get booked up quickly for the summer months, although most would still try to accommodate you - possibly with newly hired staff which might make your flower arrangements second rate. We highly recommend getting recommendations from other brides in your area. Other resources to find florsits include the yellow pages and various on-line resources like Google. Trimming down the list should be relatively easy based on initial impressions.
