My 1723 Marshal has thick and strong leafs that haven't drooped, but my 1674 marsh leaf is thin and droopy. It got to 90 for two days and a lot of rain. I had the dan's sprinkle give then a light spray for 4 min. at 2:00 (the hottest time of day....?..I did kill one, what I think was a spotted cucumber beetle

Planted my 1723s yesterday,2-cots with a true leaf on one,& the other only has 1 cot,will cull the weaker plant in a week or two,my guess it will be the two cot that will be stronger,but who knows??When a storm blows in the kids head for the basement.I say,where you going?get to the patch & cover a plant with your body.lol

I notice some more changes. Little holes, from little ice chunks that fell from the sky. So glad they was only little.

Wind, ice, sun, rain, svb, cuk beetles, Glad I don't have Wiz's voles. My voles is my big white dog that jumps my fence and make my heart stop. Neighbor's think I'm losing it, screaming at the dog to get out of the garden.
Man I think a shrink!
Glenn,Stop how do you stop.I think I'll go out and take another look.
Thanks so much everyone!

See Chris your not the only one. :))) lol

I think I must be going crazy also. I go check and look at my AG too many time in a day if I am at home.At work I think about them and wonder if they need water or if they got much or if it is to hot for them. Going to drive me nuts. (my wife think I am)
