My Nicotiana has been a total failure this year where as last year it took over the whole border, I think they got some kind of blight but I'm not sure.

Where you have a green thumb, mine is black. "Nurse 'em and kill 'em" seems to be the outcome when I try to grow anything!<BR/>How many classes are you taking and what might they be?

I am going to make a real effort now to get it back in order for next year. My plot is only small and I have sheds... I am also trying to attact more wildlife in as well. I am sure I will have failures along the way, but the overall outcome as got to be better..
