slugs??

[gucciman]

the exact same thing has happened to mine this yr and last yr. ive grown them succesfully for yrs, ive got them in pots and the borders and all thats left is stems, ive put slug pellets down, im wondering if its some sort of disease as the stems themselves look a bit mushy.

It's been an awful year for impatiens. My dad usually has a display to rival the best in his baskets but they're all dying off....my next door neighbour usually has a superb display but too theirs out last week and mine dies several weeks ago. All the imps in the beds at work have also died off.

I started a thread on the very subject only a few hours ago....come and join in

Hello there. In reply to your question about buzzie lizzies..it's not just yours....mine and my daughter's have been so disappointing. They seem to have gone all spindly with hardly any flowers and then totally died off. I have heard on radio sheffield that there is an airbourne disease that is affecting them this year.....so don't compost them....burn them.
