My Thousandth Gardenia-Trying Again !

livinonfaith · May 31, 2013

I'm the one that said just buy a house that already has an established gardenia.

Well, my two monster bushes (about 4 1/2' high, wide and deep each) have a lot of yellow leaves this year. Yikes!

So do a lot of things in the yard. Apparently, there is some kind of disease that is taking over!

Almost all of my fruit trees are looking stressed and covered with little orange dots. Most of my vegetables (tomato, pepper, eggplant, ect.) had yellow leaves even before I got them in their pots. Granted, I was really late getting them in, but I've never seen the kind of widespread disease that has appeared this year.

I swear, it seems like the gardening gods have some kind of sinister master plan for me.
