I have questions about some of my plants.

Janet Pizaro on Jun 18, 2016The Hellebores seem to have more than one issue going on. The first being mildew,second being black spot. and the third possibly aphids.You can try using a horticultural oil on the plants. cut away as much of the diseased leaves as you can and then start your control. Repeat as necessary. As for the bail it could be slugs,worms even rabbits. Again try spring with the oil and see if that helps keep your situation under control. As for the pepper plant , It needs full sun to promote healthy fruit.Helpful Reply

TexnBrit on Jun 18, 2016I agree with Anne, hellebores replace the previous year's leaves during the spring with a fresh new set. The dark patches may be Hellebore leaf spot but I simply snip the old leaves off carefully at the base of their stems which keeps the plants looking fresher and tidier (disposing of any old, possibly diseased, leaves in the garbage rather than composting them). I don't waste time and money on treating the plants with anything.Helpful Reply

Louise on Jun 18, 2016I've had these about 4 yrs and this has never happened before. Do they do this after a period of time? And what about the white spots on the leaves?Helpful Reply

Bryan's Workshop on Jun 19, 2016Hello! Your Hellebores look fine to me. You need to clean up all of the dead stuff though. Your basil looks like beetles or grasshoppers are eating it. They usually don't eat the middle veins of leaves. That basil should be grown in a pot by itself. Be careful what you spray on it too, because you'll end up eating it. Your pepper plant should definitely be in a pot. You can buy a large cheap pot and put a tomato stake in the middle to hold up the peppers with string or tomato clamp rings. I grow peppers both ways, but your soil looks pretty dry for the plant. Good luck!Helpful Reply
