Hi everyone, I'm having a hard time this year, I noticed that my begonia leaves are turning white, or some have white spots on the leaves. they're not growing well. What could be the cause? We had alot of rain, can it be that?? Thank you! I'll take a picture.

I would say it is mildew and probably because of the moist weather you have had. What a shame.

hear about all the bad weather you are having. Without seeing the picture yet,my guess would be too much water for the pegonias. How are the mimulus doing? I have the opposit problem, the lawn is so yellow and brown that DH and I are rethinking the whole garden, we might just remove all the grass and go for mostly areas with beds.. Have to go and feed the crowd but will check later.

to Mambogirl, hopefully she can post it tonight. The begonia on the picture was in my window box and had to take it out. Hope you can tell me what the problem is...
