I read that a lot of gardening is observing your plants. They will let you know when they are hungry, thirst or sick. I have put this into practice and I am starting to learn what our plants are telling me.
Take our strawberries. I noticed our strawberries had spots on the leafs. At first I wasn't sure what was going on but the other day I thought it might be a plant disease. It turns out that it is. Our strawberries have a Mycosphaerella fragariae infection, or the common leaf spot. According to Cornell The disease is found in almost every New York strawberry planting.
It looks like we need to do a better job cleaning out the strawberries in the fall time, and not let them grow so thick.
