Hi Peter, I have been researching needle cast of my 3 Blue Spruces here in my yard in Fort Ann. The pictures I have found on line are exactly what I am seeing. So, Rhizosphaera seems to be treated with Chlorothalonil for this fungus. Do you carry products with this or do you suggest something else. Thanks for your help, Gary

My handy, creative husband constructed a continuous flow of bench seating and large planter “boxes” of varying heights and lengths to surround our patio. All the planters get sun although some become more shaded in the afternoon. I have a few questions for which I’ve yet to find answers over the years: What type of flowers can I plant that will survive both full sun and part shade and still flourish? Or should I plant different flowers in the boxes to accommodate the amount of sun? If the latter is the best choice, what types of flowers will look nice together so the patio area is appealing? And, most importantly, over the last three seasons, all flowers planted in one particular planter eventually die over the season – stems become weak at the base and break or shrivel, leaves drop, etc. I’m guessing the soil has some type of disease? I tried replacing (most of) it but that didn’t solve the problem. Thank you so much for your help and expertise. I refer to your blog and garden information frequently. ntoma@nycap.rr.com
