What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I need 25 more bags of mulch.

What do you think is infecting my Raspberry plants? It looks like a rust virus or something. I'm not familiar with common raspberry illnesses, so am only guessing it is a virus. They have been like this since we received them...well, I should say they showed signs, but it has gotten worse. We've brought them into the garage at night and put on deck during the day as the general weather has been cold and very wet, with quite a bit of wind.

I'm not sure what I should be seeing. The less than green coloring on the leaves can be corrected with some added nitrogen fertilizer.
Try feeding some Miracle grow. It works quickly and is non burning. We fed our overwintered potted geraniums, and it sure made a big difference in their color fast.

The red circles are around areas of brown and dead areas on the leaves. The upper most circle is around areas of no color - like it was bleached, but sun has not been hot or intense (in fact, I've heard a myth of this thing called the sun, but am having trouble remembering what it looks like - it has been that long since we've had anything resembling sunny weather.).

Root bound?
Water from the bottom w/miracle grow or berry food (diluted) let them get a good drink of food.

Could be. They shipped it to me a full month before I expected them to ship. It was way too cold (and ridiculously wet) to plant. I've been trying to be good about not overwatering them, too. I called the company today since these spots have been on the leaves and have gotten worse since we got them. Sounds like the call center is in another country (I'll give you one guess as to which country), and the person was only reading from a script. They told me they shipped in a dormant state (hmmm...they had full green, new leaves on them - not dormant), and that they needed to be put in the ground when I got them at end of March.....!!! Ummm, it was still freezing here, raining, and high winds often...not the time to plant young, un-established plants. They need to be established, then they can go through the winter. Well, I sent the company an email...maybe I'll get a response, and maybe it will contain some information.

My berry bushes from a midwest nursery came a month too early too. They are looking horrible, but I am hoping.

My husband has zero patience with phone calls like that...he used to get mad. Now he starts talking with some kind of accent he’ll keep going until the other person says “I can’t understand you”.

Mine were fully leafed out too! Not budding, full leaf. I couldn't put them out in the cold like that! I kept them in the green house, but when I unpacked the box the leaves were loose and droopy. Watering helped immensely, but they still look like crap.
