Southern Bacterial Wilt

MikeInCypress · April 27, 2016

I am usually a calm gardener believing in one for the Lord, One for his creatures and one for me, but I am afraid I may lose all my plants to this sudden wilt. Right in the middle of my 7 in the ground plants I had a Paul Robeson start to exhibit symptoms. I yanked it. Now I have a Solar Flare in an Earthbox 30 feet away showing similar symptoms. The other plant in the Earthbox has no symptoms. I'll dig the soil out in the area where the Paul was and dispose of it. And pour about a gallon of peroxide in the resulting hole and replace with new soil. We will see.
