Some mold trying to take over a plant

[lycomania]

I think this stuff must have sprung up within 2 or 3 days. I usually notice problems pretty quickly, but I did get busy there. I've never seen this in my garden anywhere.

We've been having awful non-stop cloudy, rainy, hot, humid conditions for what seems like weeks now in Southern NH.

I was able to spray it off with a hose. Then I trimmed all lower leaves along my whole row, removed the plastic, and put some bark mulch down. I *think* it's going to be okay lol.

That was weird! I've never seen that before!

Well that's funny. The first thing I thought of other than "wasps!" (don't ask me why lol) was dog vomit.

I had no idea such a mold existed until I googled your phrase just to be sure you weren't completely joking. Thanks!

The first year I mulched my garden beds, I learned about that mold. Texans think this stuff is so normal they don't even notice it!

If you think that's disturbing, consider this:

Every time I think I know everything... the world surprises the heck out of me.

Amazing stuff! I think we'd better start lasering that bad boy down before it takes over.
