I believe roundup is a systemic herbicide. If your plants were
healthy to begin with, you could take a few and try removing the new
growth - pinch back. Kind of like sucking the venom from a snakebite
(OK, I think that's just Hollywood, but the principle is the same).
Only if you leave it go, you're too late. The stuff works it's way to
the roots and then kills the plant.

Or maybe there was something else going on, and they wilted from too
much sun, just coincidence neighbors. I do know one thing, if I
had even slightly misted my 'mater plants with roundup, they'd be
dead. Karma is a real.. you know.

That's why I'm graduating to a flamer this year. Could be fun if I
don't blow myself up.

Flame on!


They still look good except for the new deformed growth. They wont die I'm
sure. I will pick up more this week at Lowe's. I wish people would read the
labels on products before they use them.
