Question From: J. SHERBY - NEW JERSEY
Q: I have another that I pinched the same way, fed the same way and it is a 2 -foot ball of brialliant yellow !! A success !! maybe mulch? maybe some better soil? soil amendments?? the one that kicked-out and died is about 50 feet away form the successful one. anything else I should try?
A:
Anybody using any herbicides in or around your patch? It will cause damage and sudden death. Happy Yardening, Nancy
Q: BUMMER CHRYSANTHEMUM DISASTER .. Help please !! I had this great plan last year and i planted 3 tiny mums that were only 8" tall in a triangle hoping they would meld into one big bush . YES!! iT HAPPENED! I cut back early flower buds in the summer, I pinched back monthly till July 4., and watched this thing go wild INTO ONE BIG BUSH! But now here it is October , and the leaves lost their color on ALL 3 and have turned brown..WHAT WENT WRONG?? Help please ... Sincerely , J.
A:
Sounds like lack of water or too much water, possibly combined with too much liquid fertilizer. Most mums did well this year. Best Nancy
