Thank you... I appreciate it.. and this is the way we are all learning.

We did lay tarp over the beds too when there was danger of the frosts. My husband made it so that it could just be unrolled right there over top, so we left them all in place on the sides of the beds and just unrolled as needed in the evening and then unrolled in the mornings. I have some doubts for this being do to the frosts at least the ones here-- because they were covered, although anything is certainly possible. The habits of it taking one here and there, have me leaning toward a virus, but I've not found anything as far as good information with photos to back that up. I can tell you it has me stumped. I wonder too if perhaps with the yo yo temps... if it was just too stressful for some of them that may have had an underlying problem and it just helped it along... then showing through that coloration.

Last year, we had humidity so bad in June I could not keep the lens on the camera from fogging. This year... however it was nice. Humidity not too bad, heck about 2 or 3 days ago it was 67 degrees. It's been running in the mid 80's, mostly.

I look forward to finding out more.
Thank you for keeping me posted!
