Chris, Thanks for all the info, thanks so much! On Georgia Peach, it sounds like the wet fungus because some of the stems just curled from the top and rotted. Weird that the ones affected are 3 Georgia Peach. I just bought some "natural" fungicide they say is comparable to baking soda so I'll mix some up and use it and see what happens. Maybe it's fungal with the Mocha Mint and Peach Flambe. I took a look at them today and Mocha Mint's looking pretty bad. They're all in the same area so maybe it's just spreading. I'm sure all this continuous rain isn't helping.

Stormy - It IS different when we actually find out each other's real names huh? Now you know where medinac came from right? Yep, those weevils were bad but the nematodes really helped out with that and I wish NEVER to get them again. I was so careful to apply them at the right time and temperature to solve that problem. And I had the grub problem and grasshopper problem all at the same time!. I used both the nematodes and Milky Spore and that solved the problem for the most part. And NoLo bait for the grasshoppers. I did see a few of them suckers around recently. I didn't buy the nematodes or NoLo this year but looks like I'm going to have to next year just to be safe. I have some old NoLo but don't think it's going to be effective but will put some out anyway, why not right?

Carolyn - Thanks for posting your picture. That's EXACTLY what I get on my Citronelle and Pistache. Citronelle worse than Pistache. My Key Lime Pie is unaffected as well. So you think I should use the fungicide those too - I guess it can't hurt right? I thought it was strong sunburn early on because they get alot of Springtime sun. I think the spots on Sparkling Burgundy are burns, it looks totally different.

Gotta find that camera!!!!! Glad your camera was okay Chris, after dropping it....
