All That Rot

The peas are getting ready to flower. I noticed a couple of the leaves had spots on them and a couple have wilted and fallen off. Closer inspection revealed what I expected, mildew again. So the less humid fall wasn't a complete answer to the mildew problem, but maybe it will at least help. I made an anti-mildew solution from a recipe I found on About.com and sprayed it on everything that was having a mildew problem. I also read that adding a little cornmeal to the soil can help with fungal problems so I'm going to try that next year in the soil for the fungus prone plants.

I have successfully rehabilitated the hybiscus plant I "rescued." It is just about to start blooming again. That will be a nice reward before it goes dormant for the winter. I'm not sure if I need to take it in. I don't think I will, I think I'll just keep it sheltered on the patio.
