I'm about to hang up my shovel and park the tractor permanently! I have "something" destroying everything..... I am assuming that it is some sort of fungus, though not positive... "Something" killed one of my 7 year old cherry trees, it started by the leaves turning brown and then the entire limb, I cut the limb off but then another limb did the same and then another, so I just pulled the tree out because I didn't know what it was and I didn't want it to get on the other fruit trees. Well, then all my two year old strawberry plants went to hell, the plums are foul, also effected, (though only leaf damage that I can see at this point), are the potato plants, tomato plants, blue berries, grapes, clematis, roses.... etc. Please look at the pictures at the following link:
Just click on the folder titled "Help" to see the problems and the folder titled Garden 2005 to see the layout...

The plums look like they have brown rot. The strawberries look like they have a combination of fungus, (I have several different kinds of strawberries).... PLEASE HELP....... I am so sad, and I have no idea what to do.... : ( - Thanks Nikki
Wow I don't have anything to tell you or advice just sorry that you had such rotten luck but don't give up...you have too much work into your garden and some years are just rotten gardening years.
I use copper when BLS flares up on my peppers. The high humidity and constant rain in late spring makes for perfect conditions every time. The Copper turns them blue for a while but the new leaves that grow back are fine.
