RDUN · May 9, 2011

Dewayne,

I can't help with the diagnosis, but my plants have a similar thing going on. Just in the last week it has gotten noticeably worse, especially on the PL varieties. Some leaves rapidly turn yellow and die, while others seem to just dry up and turn crispy, which I think I see in your pictures as well. Mine are also in self-watering containers. I have been spraying every other week with either Actinovate or Daconil, or a combination of both.

The frustrating thing is, my Father-in-Law, who lives 2 miles from me, has about 30 plants that he just stuck in the ground and doen't do much of anything to "help" them. I saw his plants on Saturday and they look completely healthy, aside from the fact that they are sprawled out all over the place and are soon to be a tangled jungle. But I didn't see any signs of whatever disease are affecting mine.
