Thanks Nematode and shule1 for the info. From the site info, I could have the Red Stele disease. That disease sounds wicked staying in the ground for 15yrs. after the plants are gone. The site lists resistant varieties. I've grown sure crop for 30 yrs. which is on the list. Said if a non-resistant variety was introduced to a resistant variety could change things. Guess I could have mixed something in, but the only other variety I know I have grown in the past were ever berries which are supposed to be resistant. shule1, I'm hoping my ph and minerals are out of whack instead! The berries taste good, leaves wilty and small, very few runners (which by now should be numerous). I plan to check the ph, roots and take pictures tomorrow (Sat). Thanks, rockman
