What a Bummer Candice
Was just thinking about sending you an email to find out if you got on top of the leafcurl/leaf drop.
Let us know how you get on. Still having a battle over here too, a lot of leafcurl/leaf drop.
Will be spraying them with Natrasoap tonight and will see how that helps. Tried a Copper fungicide, but to not much affect.
Will catch you down at the festival, got a little Jerky for you and Adam to munch on
(if I can keep away from it!)
I have a few probs with the plants including aphids and perhaps Thrips. But am seriously wondering if our weather has anything to do with it all? I know about 6 people in Perth (plants and seeds from diff sources) and they are all having the same problem too. It looks like their about to go into dormancy before winter but I don't see how as it is so bloody hot here. My plants haven't gotten any worse and a few look better but most are still the same. But I will have to give it time as they have only been treated last week and this week and it may take awhile for them to show improvement. I also tried a fungicide also a few weeks ago but not sure if that had helped but don't really think it is fungal anymore except for the plants that were at my friends house that were being overwatered late in the arvo. They seem to have gotten a bit better and not dropping leaves since I have had them.
I haven't had Thrips before and you can't really see them but a lot of the plants have those symptoms - leaves curling up, silvery on the underside and then going a bronze colour.
Anyway, yes will see you at the festival, we will be in one of the big tents. Cool I look forward to the jerky ( if you haven't eaten it) - yours is prob the best I've eaten! If you need any dried pods for it let me know - have lots of Habs and Bhuts that you can use.
See ya there!
I barely have enough time to water them.
