Even your indoor plants show fungus when you overwater them. This was a particularly difficult year for gardeners due to the cool, rainy weather. But you know gardeners, they are always optimistic that next year will be better...!!J.Q.

Do you know if it stays alive only in certain types of plants like tomatoes and potatoes? Do you know if it could survive as a host in other plants like garlic or flowers?<br />Thanks again!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660495043664836086noreply@blogger.com
