Odd Leaf Issue

Clay Mountain · May 16, 2018

Any ideas what might cause this? It's only on one seedling and they've been living in close quarters during the hardening off process. Thanks much!

Edema = overwatering?

I believe that is one possible cause. I have not had a problem with it in the past so I haven't had to research a cure, but it is not a disease, it is a result of environmental conditions, so improving the conditions should be all that is required. If you have been watering a bit too much, cut back, if they are in the garden and it has been raining a lot, not much you can do about that. I think it can also be related to temps and fertilizer.

Thanks, ladies! I'm trying to keep them garden ready and with all this rain I picked today as the least bad for outside time. It was their first (light) shower. An on and off gentle one.
