If it was in the lawn, I'd suggest a water soluble that you dispense with a garden hose as it tends to get better contact with that method of dispersal, but in the garden, unless you can get a cone over the desirables to keep the herbicide off, you might be better off with a foam paint brush and selectively painting what needs to die, die, die. . Cutting the weed back to the ground and targeting the new growth might be easier as well.
There's always flame weeding, which can be frustrating with perennial weeds, but it can be fun as long as you don't set too much wood mulch on fire.
Looks possibly like virgin's Bowers vine. Look it up. Can cause skin reactions. I'm on my phone so when I get to the laptop I do more research. If you can I would try and cut the flowers off before it goes to seed. It's related to the clematis family.
I’ll get a pic shortly. They are big but not red yet. Gonna have to watch them close. Turbodiesel will be here next week and he already has a salt shaker in his pocket. The cukes are headed over the top of the fence and will be hanging down shortly. Already canned 20 quarts of dills. Super scaled back on garden this year for many reasons.
Yes. The main garden is 5500 sq feet. Just put peppers and cabbage oh yeah and a few squash out there. I usually raise near 200 tomato plants. Maybe 25 this year. It was sorta senseless to work that hard when I just give them away. I will miss my garden but have already drawn up plans for 4 large raised beds in Florida.
Maybe we talked about this before Brandon, but have you visited the Hollis and Nancy Homestead channel? They are going through a bunch if videos on gardening on their new spread in Florida. Its a good channel!
Awesome Brandon! I love the raised beds and the hoop frame. Once it's fully covered I'd put a table and chairs under there.
You guys think this is early Blight? Everything fine over in the garden. Thanks eh. Sudden Outbreak of Yellow Leaves on Tomato (and Other) Plants
Looks like it might be septoria, but whichever early blight it is there's not a lot you can do. You can try baking soda, try cutting off the affected branches and burning and destroying the fungus growths. The spores likely blew in from affected wildflora and neighboring soils. There are also fungicides you can try but they are usually more preventative than reactionary remedies. I have a grape arbor that gets affected with black rot every year. None of the other grapes around it normally are affected. I've had some luck spraying peaches for leaf curl preventatively so I hope I have the same luck with those grapes. Plus I thinned them out unmercifully. They look horribly butchered compared to the past but I am Hoping to not watch thousands of beautiful hanging grapes slowly shrivel up and turn black. Probably a good plan of attack would be to get a copper based fungicide and give the plant a good soaking. Probably won't do much for the leaves that are already spotted and turning yellow but it might help with the top half and save the fruit. That plant must be sucking down several gallons of water a day.
Good luck with the Grapes bill. Dead branches are in a bag back of truck and what to do with the baking soda? Sprinkle on leaves or on the dirt?
