Problem with honeysuckle
As I am a relative newcomer to gardening I hope someone here may be to help me with a couple of problems. My young grand daughter has been telling me that 'the honey bees are in trouble', therefore we have to do our bit to try and encourage as many of them into our gardens as we can. Fair enough I saw on the telly that bees are particularly attracted to honeysuckle and lavender plants, so I went to our local garden centre and purchased a 'Lonicera americana' honeysuckle which I was informed was particularly good, at the time I did notice that a couple of the leaves looked a little suspect (as in photo) but thought that once I got it into some decent soil with a couple of handfuls of bonemeal (as seen on TV) everything would be OK, however whilst it still continues to grow apace the leaves still look far from healthy, whilst the stems in places appear to have a greyish coating. | Also a lavender that I purchased at the same time started off wonderfully but that too now appears to be on the wane with some of the heads now beginning to turn a brownish colour.. Any help will be greatly appreciated, below is a link to a couple of photos of both the honeysuckle and the lavender plant. | TIA Ivan | http://picasaweb.google.co.uk/Anth230542/HonLavr?authkey=Gv1sRgCPKH-i75Yv4gwE&feat=directlink or http://tinyurl.com/lwnrs6 |
