Due to some other threads about folks asking what is wrong with their plants I did this last weekend.
It is roundup sprayed right before a surprise rainstorm. Some would see the black on the leaves and say too much nitrogen. Others would say iron deficiency. Some would say roundup. All sorts of things. The point is that it is darn hard to tell sometimes. Worth IMG_20170610_19139.jpg IMG_20170610_6476.jpg |

Tried the machete and it is too much work and I dont want to get bit by a snake.
Went back to a stream of roundup that isn't floating in the wind. Besides the wind is in the right direction today. This weed patch has been bugging me for years. ![]() Worth |

When I was growing hundreds of tomato plants at the old farm,charley,my farmer friend would arrive at the crack of dawn and spray Roundup on his tomato plants and mine, and did it then before there was no wind and chance of drift.
BUT,occasionally there was a bit of drift that affected some of my plants and I remember that the foliage turned white,I really do,let me check Pictures of damage https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...k1.yN9tl7OVUsE links https://www.google.com/search?q=Roun...&bih=788&dpr=1 Ok, it looks like it was yellow,but it's only the second error I've made in the last 30-40 years,so that's the good part as I see it. ![]() ![]() Carolyn
