Ahhh! Whats this

This came on over night any one know what it is.

I don't think it's shock from the gas prices going up
13 cents a gallon around here the last 2 days.

I've got that too, on some plants. It doesn't seem to effect plant growth or tomato production. It doesn't come overnight, look closely for the edges of leaves turning sort of a dark blue, then they get brown. I noticed it first after long periods of rain.

Did you just fertilize?

Gavriil · July 16, 2013

not these to plants one is okra the other a Rutgers select tomato
have recently fertilized the plants in the garden with compost/cow manure
but these are about 25 ft from the regular garden area. It only seems to be on these 2 plant and there right next to each other. along side the patio.

The okra looks like it has sawfly larva damage.

Or some sort of beetle larva.

those are john deere grubs right?

I turned over a few of the okra leaves couldn't see any bugs except this nest of vipers

So it is a bug not a disease

Saw fly larve was what I must have had on my Mugo Pine Tree about 3-4 years ago
they were tearing it up until I sprayed it for about a week with some heavy duty bug killer.
It has recovered now
