Hi Fokes; My patch is in trouble. This my first year and 5 days ago I noticed that all the new growth on 1 plant was curling up and turning yellow. Now all my plants are showing the same symtoms. I can't find any disciption of a disease that fits this condition, so I assume this could be a water problem but I,m not sure. The first plant is now very sick the rest are not too bad yet but if I don't fix the problem soon they will probably all die. If anyone can help, please send me a note. Thanks in advance. SJW

Pictures would be very helpful. But we need to start somewhere so....

Has anything been apllied to the plants to control insects or diseases inb the 24 hours precedding the symptoms?

Also, had anyone applied lawn or brush Weed-Killer or other 2,4-D containing material nearby?

If you haven't fertilized in a while look to the cause as low nutrients. We have had lots of rain these last two weeks. Is it possible nitrogen has been washed out of the soil. After heavy rains three times this year I have had to hit my plants with Nitrogen, Epsum salts and minor nutrients. The vine tips stopped growing on two of my plants in June because of this problem. I have used Iron Green by Shultz with great success. Any good soluable will help improve the situation.
