Thank you both. I hand weed my gardens and especially during bloom season. I battle chickweed and creeping jenny something fierce, so I like to stay ahead of it if I can. This bed is completely new and old chicken poo was added to it last fall. What I don't understand is even throughout the other new bed and the older one where there is mulch I've had leaves start looking like this. I water about every 2-3 days which is normal for here and it gets hand watered (normally takes me a good couple hours.) They've been gorgeous the last few years, perhaps the miracle grow that I normally give them just is not cutting it? I do that about every two weeks.
I did see a copper one in the store today, thought about picking it up... perhaps I may just go back for it!
Thanks again!
