Thy Plight With August Blight


As with trash pails and Boston Ivy, the New Dawn rose wants to go in new directions.


The Maximilian sunflowers blighty as ever in the front yard -but not so much at the side garden.


Something I have yet to spot has been munching Grandma's rose, and along with that -yellow mottled leaves.


This spot under the New Dawn, always poor at this time -blechhh.


The large (for my yard) aster bed has hit its end. This spot has long frustrated me and this year's cold frame placed here made it worse. And then there's my upstairs neighbor's air conditioner -condensing on this spot all summer.


The poor aster, blighted more than previous years.


Yellow leaves, spots, blackened tips, but somehow keeps on.
