Nooooooooooooooooooo the dreaded blackspot..........

1 of my New roses I planted lastyear as the dreaded blackspot.

I hate using chemicals and refuse to use any because my dog uses the garden. So looked all over YouTube and found quiet a few fixes.

I've used baking soda as it's pet friendly. Trying that and see how it goes.

Cut off the offending leaves and binned them. Sprayed all my rose plants incase and gave the most effected 1 a good soaking.

Fingers crossed this works or I'll dig it out and dump it.

I used a mixture of neem oil mixed with sulfur to treat my Mister Lincoln roses three years ago that developed blackspot. Did wonderful in treating it. And it is pet friendly and organic.

2 parts neem oil mixed with 1 part sulfur.
Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.

Hello Haukur.

I read about that cure but I can't use it. I have a dog and the Sulfur is a risky thing for her so no can do. I could fence them off from her if the spots get worse. I have netting left.

I did hear good things though about that cure so it's maybe for next time if this 1 does not work.

Cheers for the hint.

Does anyone have advice for growing herbs (basil, dill, chives, parsley) indoors? I've tried to grow them multiple times in different locations of my house, but to no avail. :(

The kitchen windosill is a good place. Herbs are easy to grow and I've grown a lot. As long as they get Sun and kept watered they should do fine.

In some shops or garden centers you can buy them ready grow and just keep them healthy on thew windowsill. Just don't cut too much off them at a time.

These 2 videos may help.

Good luck.

To further expand on Tuffty's advice. Once every two months put a fertilizer spike, such as miracle-gro plant spikes in the potted soil.

Thank you both for the advice!

How goes the battle of the black spot Tuffty? Don't ever think the reason I am peaceful is because I do not know how to be violent.

I've got some beautiful white foxgloves in my garden. :) I only had one last year but I left it to scatter its seeds and some have come true. Other seedlings grew into the more usual colours. I like them all but the white are especially pretty as they show up well in the shady corner
