bacterial speck again!!

lakeshorenc · June 7, 2007

Well starting to see the first signs. I am going to try and find a copper spray today but is there any other advice anyone could give me. It's not on all the plants just a few. Mostly yellow brandywines(which have the biggest leaves I've ever seen)I could hide my hand under one leaf. Do I pick the effected leaves off or does this leave a wound for spreading? My plants are absolutely gorgous and starting to put out tons of flowers and fruit. I really, really hate this. Theresa

Yes, it's helpful to remove affected foliage and dispose of it away from the garden area.
