Gilgamesh8(4)Updated Hi Betsy, I try to water it deeply 3-4 days apart, provided there has been no rain. Is it too much/too little? I follow the same schedule with my other plants and they are doing fine. However, I must add that the Sunsugar looked m...

dmncUpdated Thanks all for the advice. I think I must have damaged it. I tried to be as careful as possible when putting in the stake in so as to enlarge the old hole rather ramming in a new one but I guess I wasn't careful enough. I probably...

silverspringgardnerUpdated Yes - You should spray or it might spread and kill the whole plant. I have had early fungus problems and now I have spider mites and Late Blight. If you get Late Blight, it will kill the plants very quickly. Spay a copper based fu...

edweather(Zone 5a/b Central NY)Updated Most of us on the container forum would not recommend compost in containers. But anyway, that ship has sailed this year. I would still give them a good dose of fertilizer, the leaves look a bit pale.
