Mallow question....& wet/mould on weeds?

[burnt toast]

Yes Rach good example pics of the mallow thats exactly what im finding of late. But mainly on the more exposed leafs. Mallow was the one thing I didnt find today might try & fetch some from my "sheltered spot" where it was ok last time if I have time tmw. Will be interesting to see if it too has the pimples after recent wet/cold weather.

Wonder if snails lay eggs only at certain times of year? & if so is it this time?

they aren't like that though, they are little white eggs snails lay. those red/brown things are what I'm finding too

if they are eggs they will likely be in here http://images.google.com/images?sour...w=1276&bih=604

but the ones on my plants I don't think are very orderly like those ones so it may be a plant disease. I will have to check more closely today

Red spider mite eggs?

It is mainly a case of what looks the freshest leaves, if you think of some tort's still garden feeding like Leopards, Sulcata's occasionly this time of year, i think they will have eaten there fair share of bug's. Manky fungus effected plant's should be pulled out and not fed.
This is Pertunia effected with powdery mildew.



This is just surviving leaves and flower, without going OTT, i would feed the greenest fresh looking leaves, the plant is nearly finished.

Ive seen that powdery mildew on a lot of plants, weeds included, always avoided. In the early days I did wonder if it might be weedkiller but now dismissed that idea as I have found it in places that are the back of beyond that no one has tended for years.

& Yes Alan I think the spots on the Mallow are too uniform to be eggs, also seem to be part of rather than stuck to the leaf, Will try & grab some over weekend.

Funny but if you get your nails scratching at the 'pimple' on the mallow leaf,you can get it off. I'm wondering whether these pimples are any thing harmful at all. Reason I say this is I have found mallow with pinsized holes on the leaf. This makes me think that the pimples disintegrate and make these holes. What do we all think? Or should we just still avoid pimpled-mallow. What a mystery this is!

I nominate Rach to do the plant test, coz she's not daft like uz.

I'm no plant guru, I reckon Coolsox should do it. xx
