This year's CRUD observations

**nctomatoman** · May 1, 2007

With everything now transplanted (and, in fact, part way through the actual planting in the big pots and grow bags), here is my 2007 CRUD report.

Severe affliction - Dr. Wyche's Yellow, Granny Cantrell, Kellogg's Breakfast, Yoder's German Yellow, Liz Birt (all 5 of these were so severely stricken that I wondered if they would survive. However, getting them into the sun and quickly transplanting them did the trick, and the seedlings of each look great).

Minor affliction - Anna Russian, Anna Banana Russian, German Johnson, Mortgage Lifter, Orange Heirloom, Rose Quartz, some of the offspring from Dopey (which included Orange Russian 117 as a parent).

Of those severely afflicted, this is an annual event with Dr. W and Kellogg, and for both my efforts with the other 3. Of those just very slightly affected, again, I've seen this in the past (Mullens Mortgage Lifter is not nearly as susceptible as Halladay's).

None of the affected plants spread the problem to neighboring plants/cells. All recovered when moved to direct sun/transplanted.

Quite a curious thing, this Crud!
