Suddenly one of my plants has become very sick indeed :(
Hi
I am very much an absolute beginner at gardening. I went to Romania recently for a couple of weeks. Very nice it was, but on my return one of the plants in my back garden had become extremely sick indeed. The plant is a Common Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) which has been growing very happily for two years. About two thirds of it have died and I have cut those away. Right beside it is an identical plant which is not showing any problem but obviously I want to make sure it survives. Also I'd like the remaining third of the sick plant to recover. There is one notable difference between the sick plant and the well plant. The sick one has an annoying ball of grass growing in the roots of the plant. The only way I can think of to dissuade this grass is to keep pulling out the shoots. However the plant has been happy with that for two years and I just keep pulling out any grass that is growing. I'd love to know of some way to rid the plant of this grass. Thank you -- Patrick - Hove, UK If you wish email me from my web-site: http://www.patrickjames.me.uk |

Rosemary do seem to keel over suddenly, possibly fungal - the symptoms seem to be die back of whole branches or the whole plant, with the leaves looking to be dead at the junction between leaf and stem. Since it's the sick plant that has the grass, I suggest you take some cuttings from the well plant, and just get rid of the grass when the sick plant finally keels over completely. -- Kay |
