Howdy Rancher. Have ya missed me yet. Hey I know it was a while back but I just purchased a 20 pack of new scissors and I am planning them all for me when I help come trim the Jungle. I see your having some chalenges. My first question is have you fended off the bud moths ?? I am worried for your one plant have you checked the soil she is growing in for compaction? I know it shouldnt be an issue but if she is an agressive root grower she might have root bound herself. watering less more often will fix that it causes serious wilting and discoloring because the roots are starved for air. I dont know that is the cause but its my full 2 cents.
Beyond that does Hortohoney happen to have a younger single sister haha. The rest of your garden looks great brother your finacinal woes will soon be comming to a close from what I see. I love that pinkish purple coloring in the pistols on your PJ's.
Much Love
-Dr.
I've missed you for sure Dr. D...I have some good news and bad news...
First...I believe I've found the problem with #3 PJ...I spent some time crawling around in the Enchanted Garden taking a close look at what's going on...this is what I found...one main branch was dying...1/3 of the plant...
A branch/node separated at the top of the bark/cambium ridge...
that gave an entry for insects and mold...resulting in this...
I cut the entire branch off below the damaged node...
notice the dark stripe going up from the damaged branch...
closer look at the damaged stalk...I believe the black specks are "frass" insect shit...
yet a closer look at the white material resembling mold inside the stalk...
I sealed the fresh cut branch with Pruning Sealer...
now I wait...to see how #3 responds to the trauma of surgery...
so that's the good news...bad news is I've found budworm damage on the Spaceship plant...I've got pictures to post later when I find time...I'm on full budworm alert...I don't know if there were already eggs or the moths are hatching inside the enclosed garden and then laying eggs...
Oh...sorry Dr. D...hortohoney's got no sisters...
Peace, Blue Skies and Kill them bugs,
Xrancher
