My Garden nightmare.

I think my yard would be a pathologists dream of bacteria, viruses and who knows what else. One of the managers at IFA said that all this wet cool weather has all kinds of stuff growing that normally is not a problem here in Utah.

                                              My Blackberries

I dug them up two days ago to look at the roots.  I had some white ones so their is a tiny hope. The water table is so high where they are planted. The roots where just in a slosh pool of water, so I raised them up . I  picked up a  Ferti-lome fire blight spray that that I have started to treat them with.

This tomato was very purple. It looks a little droopy but it is not as purple as it was.   I know that the cold  temperatures can cause plants to turn purple through the veins because they can't absorb the phosphorus.  I bought some  bone meal and sprinkled it around the base of all my tomatoes.

I could not get a good picture of the purple on my tomatoes so I took one of my marigold.   These leaves are not crispy. It just looks like the leaves are suppose to be this color.  I have found a few things that this could be. One is fire blight.  One is the lack of phosphorus.   A new disease that popped up in 2006 called TPLD.  

This Tomatillo split and looks like shoulders. It is growing out instead of up. Weird! 

This tomatillo is still tiny and not growing ...yet it is covered in as many blossoms as possible. I am trying to decide  if  I should pinch the blossoms off so the plant can grow bigger first.

                 Now on to my trees! This is making me sick!

We started off infested with aphids. This leaf is after being sprayed twice! 

Then came all the rusty colored leaves on my  apple tree. This tree looks horrible. It has fire blight and a bacterial issue.  I am thinking we will have to cut this one down. 

My pear tree looks like some one took a magnifying glass and burnt all the tips of my leaves. This tree also has fire blight and some other kind of bacteria.

I took cuts of both trees to IFA and that is where I got my information. I have also researched on line and found the same thing I was told by the IFA manager. He recommended a ferti-lome fire blight spray and also a ferti-lome broad spectrum fungicide.
I was also told to cut 6 inches below and infected branch but that would be my entire tree. I have applied the spray 2 times at this point. My tomatoes look better. I think the rest may as well. It is hard to tell ...as they still look good as dead.
