I just noticed the flowers in my cutting garden have spots on the leaves. Researching suggested spraying with a milk solution. ANy other suggestions? I also planted a hydrangea there and now am concerned about it getting whatever is on my plants. Okay, I am not so plant savvy so guide me in the right direction.

Can you post a pic of the spots? If they are bacterial or fungal leaf spots, NEEM Oil should help. Natural oil from Neem tree. What plants are they on?

What do the spots look like? Green, brown, black? In clusters or here and there?
Here's a website to get you started in identifying what might be the problem
http://www.cdcg.org/pests.html (though there are lots of other helpful gardening websites out there in addition to this one). You might want to call your county extension agency and describe the specific problem because garden pest differ from region to region. What plagues my plants might not do the same to yours!

i am waiting for the landscapers to come and do my yard - does that tell you anything besides the fact that i am lazy ??

Not lazy...smart.I had thefront landscaped, but thought I cuold pull off a small flower garden.

I keep trying to find the "green thumb" gene my dad had. My way of still connecting with him since he is no longer here....and am even considering taking up fishing, an activity I despised as a child.
