- Hi Flower Friends! It's Nicole from Flower Hill Farm- today I am working to stop the spread of an issue with my zinnias. It appears to be Alternaria Leaf Spot. I'm spraying with Copper Fungicide and pulling all of the leaves with spots. You'll also find magic tricks from Gramps at the end of this video!

You have such a great sense of humor 🤣 “fungicide”. Hopefully your zinnias will do better after the fungicide 😥
We haven't got 2" of rain yet in all of 2021, such opposite conditions this year. Hope you get it all figured out - ian
:o Now that I think about it..I don't think I've seen rain in ur vids..Hope Serena is doing better!
God bless Grampa 💗
Also, your grandpa's wonderment looking at your flowers is so sweet!
I found Japanese beetles eating my zinnias. On the bright side, this is my first year growing queen lime with red and its the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!
I found them on mine too this year 😩
mine too! but not on anything else.....so maybe it's good?
This is my first year growing Queeny Lime Orange! Love them too.
The sad piano has me DEAD. I am sorry you're dealing with this but oh my god you are funny.
🤣🤣 I was cracking up adding that music in 🤣
“We have gotten an unprecedented amount of rain” …. Me from California dry as beef jerky desperately hoping for some rain
haha!! I needed that laugh! :)
Mine often look like that, soggy hot Illinois weather. Every year black spot and japanese beetles. Doesn't seem to effect the blooms. I just succession plant then pull out plants that get too far gone. The first couple blooms usually look funky, I deadhead them but once the plant starts branching it usually puts out great flowers.
I love that you have a meteorologist on call! (and I'm sorry you're having trouble with your zinnias.)
Hey Nicole... sorry about this. My strawberry plants had lead spot a few weeks ago, also due to the amount of rain we’ve received. I removed all of the affected leaves and so far that seems to have done the trick. Good luck my friend!!
P.S: Grandpa is the best! ☺️🙂
Now I know what is happening to my strawberries. Thanks for the info.
Awesome family. Painting AND magic tricks and loving up your cut flowers. I'm so sorry about your zinnias. I feel your pain! Farming and gardening are such hard work. Blood, sweat and tears!
Nicole, I am so glad I found your channel! You are so adorable and you just make me smile and lift my spirits with every video! Best of luck fighting the leaf spot, and farming challenges. Thanks for sharing your Grandfather he is so cute too! Blessings on you and your family.
Thank you so much!!
I had a black spot fungus problem on my basil (we have so much moisture in WI too), it took three times of defoliating the spotted leaves and it hasn’t come back! Each time I took leaves off the problem was smaller and smaller until it was just gone :) I feel like you going through and taking the damage leaves off, and spraying, you’ll be OK. Stay hopeful friend!
It’s not hard to figure out where you get your sense of humor 🤣 He is precious! ❤️
Oh no All those zinnias. Bless you Here in NH last year I complained about the drought; this year it's the rain. My tomatoes have septoria leaf spot & signs of early blight. ugh Spraying with Bonide Liquid Copper, it's probably too late. awww grandpa is so sweet. Love seeing him in the videos; brings a smile to my day.
Thank you! This is my first year planting zinnia seedlings. Just put them in the ground 4 days ago. Now I know what & where to look for early signs of trouble. And thank your sweet grandpa for teaching me a magic trick! So cool!😘
the zinnias will be ok, I have the same thing and spray with alternating copper and sulfer every few days
Your family is so sweet. Man, I wish I had a Grand that painted and did magic tricks at the same time. Talented and adorable family. So supportive and inspiring.
It is really hard to tell from photos and your video but our experiences with something that looks like this, it was bacterial spot or Xanthomas campestris. It is soil borne and with your rain it is splashing on the lower leaves. Our experience with alternaria, it starts with dark brown or black at the margins of the leaf and moves to lesions on the petioles and stems. It eventually girdles the stems. Your pics didn't show that, but just showed dark spots throughout the center of the leaves. These lesions become surrounded by a yellow halo which can indicate bacterial not fungal. Best field control for bacterial spot is mulching your pathways. Many times when it stops raining the problem disappears by the pathways being mulched. Also bacterial leaf spot usually doesn't kill the plant. This has been our in observations here on our farm. Wishing you the best.
Oh my! grandpa is a gem! I'm so sorry about your zinnias. I'm just getting mine in the ground. We don't get but a drop of rain here in So Cal but I still get fungus on my peas in the winter. I hate it. I'm going for the copper next year.
Bravo Dad! Love failed magic tricks...so delightful!
I love his magic tricks and he always has the most genuinely enthusiastic reactions to your flowers! Awesome
Timing is perfect. I’m seeing it on mine too. I have some copper so I will try that.
I lost my grandfather about a year ago and it brought me such joy to spend that few minutes watching yours. He’s a treasure ❤️❤️
I’ve noticed when they get too much water that the leaves get wrinkled then when they dry out the leaves go back to looking healthy. Thank goodness we don’t get a ton of rain in this micro climate we are in. Hawaii has different zones depending on where you are on the island. If i lived up the mountain then the snapdragons and cool flowers would love it. I’m a block away from the coast and its hot and with light mists of rain at night. Good Luck with the Zinnia issue.
Japanese beetles on mine…always something. Great video! Good luck. 🍀
Thank you so much Nicole and T.S .New York SO MUCH 🇺🇸🇺🇸🍎🍎🐱🐱😎😎🤗🎧😃😃🇺🇸🇺🇸😄😄😘🇺🇸🇺🇸😏😇🇺🇸🍏🎸🎺🎁🎸🎻🎵🎹🎷🕭🎧
What is going on! 😩 We are crispy crunchy Hot & Dry in the west & you are sweatshirt soggy!! Mother Nature needs to do a shimmy shake and mix it all up!! Your Beautiful plants are so healthy otherwise I have no doubt with your love and care they’ll pull through🤗 Great info if we ever see a wet season again!🤓 Your Gramps is Awesome!! Thanks for sharing him with us!!😁 Oh and your Mom Rocks!!🤩
I have same issue., removed lower leaves and used safers 3-1fungicide/insecticide/miticide.
Worked well. 👍🏻
Also added couple caps of peroxide to my watering can and water the soil under the plants for a couple days in a row then returned to regular waterings.
🇨🇦🙏🏻Keep growing. 🌱💐
Hi Nicole! We always have those same spots on our Zinnias' lower leaves. I'm from the tropics so we always have heavy rain and I always attribute it to that. I don't really mind so much especially when my Zinnias are already well established, because they always pull through eventually! Although I guess it's best to administer fungicide on your end because you have thousands and you sell them. Hope it works out!
Also you're grandpa is so precious ❤️
Your grandpa is the best! Helpful, enthusiastic about flowers, and tricks! 😁 Hope the " fungicide" does the trick!
Very timely. I have this on my zinnia too and know what to do now. Thanks!
I just love your zest for life; you just take everything with a grain of salt and keep pushing forward... With laughter. You're an awesome person.
God bless you

Thanks for posting, my tomatoes have it! Now I know what to do.
Personally I don't know anything about gardening or flowers, but love watching your channel. Especially your Grandpa:)) Good luck with your flowers!!
I am glad I stumbled on this. I am in SE MI zone 6. From June 17 - July 18th we received 10.5 inches of water. This week we received 2 more inches. My California Giants are only about 12" tall and starting to bloom. It's not just mine, I intentionally drove by another garden that grows Giants as well. His are all blooming, but half the height they usually are.
Also, I am jealous of your Bells of Ireland. I have always loved mine, but mine has never been as large as yours.
I have it too Nicole - am trying peroxide in water - heard that works great! We'll see! BUT, my flowers are blooming beautifully anyway and big blooms and prolific! So, don't pull them out!!!
My hydrangeas have it too!! Sprayed with copper fungicide. Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞
Such a fun video on so many levels! I mean, minus the bacterial and the need for the FUN-JUUUUHHH-cide!
The new growth looks OK. I'd be pretty hopeful actually. Maybe thin the plants as well as spraying so get improved air flow too... Good luck!
I’ve had a terrible time with alternaria leaf spot on my zinnias this year. It hasn’t even been that rainy where I live but for some reason the fungus was bad very early on in the season and I think it slowed their growth considerably. Considering growing my zinnias in a cold frame/hoop house next year so they never get any overhead watering from nature. Alternaria suuuuccckkks! Good luck 🤞
I have that too all over my zinnia. Has happened in the past and bottom watering helps, but as you’ve said, the rain has been crazy this summer with more coming! 😭
Does new rain require additional spray or is there still some protection?
I think the fact that There is always something new to learn and figure out is one of and figure out is 1 of the reasons I like gardening so much! It can be quite stressful at times though especially when you have a lot of money invested...
I feel your pain :( Hope the spraying works! I'm dealing with JBs all over the place ....
I showed zinnias as well here in GA. We had a wet spring, like 10 to 15 inches of rain spring. This is my first year with zinnias and have watched them overcome all the adversities. Spring frost damage to wet weather, to now a super dry summer. They are thriving in spite of the adversities. Just let them do their thing. You'll be glad you did. cheers!
I used that Copper fungicide here in FL. We get daily rains and weeks most of the time esp during hurricane seasons.
I have to do mine over the weekend.
Beautiful flowers and love the magic tricks. Bravo !!
My grandfather use to do that same magic trick with me. I had forgotten all about it. Such good memories. Boy I miss him...
I wonder if it’s like the black spot roses get? That comes from the same thing tons of rain which causes fungus. They recommend you take off the infected leaves so they don’t spread to other leaves and also use the fungicide. So I think your doing the right thing. Lol typed all this and you said your doing exactly that should of kept watching. Yep looks just like black spot roses get. I think I actually lost my gorgeous yellow climber this year. So sad. They will still bloom though and the flowers will be useable and you strip the leaves anyway so you shouldn’t have to pull them.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed 🤞🏻 for you lovely. Aww seeing your Grandpa makes me miss mine 😢 he would sit and tell me stories about when he was in the army and as he got older I’d sit on his knee and pretend I was a hairdresser combing his hair while eating all his sweets 🍬😂🥰 xx
Have the same thing in Michigan 😢used the cooper stuff and it really really helped . Caught it fast though. Good luck. I sprayed the dirt too btw
Thanks 👍 Glad to hear it helped you!
Really? I keep using copper and it’s not doing anything. 😔
@@melissasullivan1658 yes it even helped my roses . The rain here has been awful🤦♀️I do ever time it doesn’t rain to maintain . Needed neem oil on a few other items.
I’ve never had black spot but here in the subtopics my zinnias always get powdery mildew with our wet, humid weather. Your grandpa was adorable looking at those beautiful flowers 💗🌸
We’ve been having a lot of rain this year. As soon it started I’ve been spraying with the weekly neem and safer soap applications. So far it’s done the trick. Hope you’re able to save yours.
My Shasta daisy’s and tick seed have the same issue this year. I’m in IN and we have had tons of rain too. July is when my plants thrive, but they are suffering.
Being any kind of farmer is hard work
It looks like rust to me. My holly hocks and roses used to get it. I spray all my flowers with one part regular milk and two parts water. At dusk.I do this as soon as I get leaves and every two weeks. This is a preventative and may not stop progression of what already there.
Just loved your grandpa at the end 😍
I just noticed this on some of my dahlia leaves and was wondering what it was. I only have 50 dahlias so I am hoping this is not the beginning of the end for them! Thanks for the helpful tips and hopefully this will end your zinnia struggle as well!
Great information I’ve always seen this around the same time as the beetles arrival. I’ve assumed it was from me spraying for the beetles. 🤦♀️ I’ve probably been spreading it all over.
Bless your heart you try so hard .praying Judy
Northern Californian gardener here! I love watching your channel, you crack me up. Sorry 😢 for the bacteria.
Hi from Washington state... we've been dry as a desert up here in the PNW, we could use some of that rain you seem to have an abundance of. (I'm hand watering EVERYTHING... but thankfully my garden is tiny compared to yours)
It looks like black spot on roses. We had a very wet, cool & humid summer last year and pretty much my roses were hopeless because of it, even though I kept spraying. Your Zinnias still look healthy though. Maybe they will be OK as in Kim Clayton's comment.
LOVE Jill! It is the best that you have these folks pop in your videos, we never know who we will see next! Oh and....Fungicide.
😱😔 oh no! Yes that definitely looks to be a bacterial issue rather than just lower leaves turning yellow from getting too wet. It’s always something I swear! This is my first time growing cut flowers and one of my dahlia plant’s core stem just rotted from all the rain and flopped over half of my plant. I cut it out and hopefully the side shoots will continue. I dug to look at the tubers and they don’t seem mushy so I’m praying 👏🏼
What a bummer!! I have a suggestion!! Find the spot in your row where the infection stops and remove an 8” swath between the infected plants and the non-infected!! Like a fire break but for a blight. I hope the Fungicide works
We are all hoping and praying that your zinnias will be ok 🤗💗
I had exactly the weather conditions and this leaf condition in New Zealand’s last summer. If it’s any consolation it didn’t affect the blooms at all.
So sorry about the Zinnias Nicole. I AM looking forward to your harvest and hopefully the treatment works! I did not even get to plant mine because I fell off a wall weeding on May 15th and broke my elbow. :( I have weeds EVERYWHERE! My husband planted 53 bubble gum vistas and they all got eaten by the groundhogs. Same with my dahlias. This year is a bust for me. With regards to the weather, I found gall on my azaleas for the first time this year and cut it all off, bagged it and threw the bags in the trash. I believe rain had a part in that too. Keep your spirits up!! :)
My Zinna’s always get black spots and they still over produce! I strip the leaves fresh flowers
Me too!
I have black spot so bad this year that one rose bush is compliantly bare. It’s even on my sunflowers! Worse year ever! Hydrangeas are great though!
Hallo Nicole and all your friends Flower Farm
Your grandpa is so cute! ☃️❄️💚🙃
Love Grandpa's magic tricks
I wish I could take some of that rain off your hands! We are looking at a complete crop failure (corn and soybeans) in NW Minnesota because of drought...wishing you the best of luck with your zinnias
Hi Sweet Pea. Had the same problem last summer. Treated for rust. Sprayed from the ground up so got underneath the leaves as well. Because we were expecting a lot more rain I thinned them out. Eventually got beautiful big flowers
Had to spray a few times in between rainy days
girl I am in Indiana and it has rained all week I feel your pain :(
Hey Doll, you're going to hate me for this easy answer, but I'm gunna risk it anyway...
I had these same rain problems a few years ago with my Magnolia Tree. It is planted in an area where I amended the soil, and so during torrential rain events, it tends to stay wet for waaaay too long. We're talking mushroom farm kinda wet!
The large amounts of rain had weakened my tree, bringing in the bugs, and also nutrient deficiencies. There were indications of fungus issues on the leaves as well.
We'll, my tree is too big to spray, not that I would anyway.
And the tree was visibly sad, and all droopy. 🥺
So hoping to fix it, I went out there, and poked deep holes into the soil with a stick.
That's it.
Just poked holes into the soil, and left the holes there.
Not a big fat stick, just about a half inch around sized stick.
Aerate the soil, which was having trouble drying out - was my idea.
🤷🏼♀️
And guess what!
The next day it was much less droopy! WhoooHooooo!!!
But that wet weather still had weakened it. The bugs, and nutrition deficiencies were still there.
So I then took minerals - not a N-P-K, but actual powdered minerals, and made a few more holes around the drip line, and gave my tree a good feeding of those that way.
Three days later my Magnolia- (who's name is The Bob Tree btw - we have a whole history together, it's a long story...), anyway -
The Bob Tree was NOT droopy,
AND it was putting on new growth for the first time that season!!!
All the leaf issues it was having were all gone, and the bugs took off too!
So I rewarded it with a third set of holes around the drip line, and fed it worm castings, and molasses.
The Bob Tree has been thanking me ever since!
Moral of the story -
Whenever my plants are having an issue - look to the soil...
But that's just me... 💚🌱💚
Great advise!
Love it! Treating one tree is a bit different than treating 2200 zinnias but I love your thinking!
@@FlowerHillFarm Could the sheeting be inhibiting the evaporation of excess moisture? Trapping it in and making it worse?
@@FlowerHillFarm yes, I was thinking that too.
But still, poking a stick into the sides of the soil is a great kid job!!
I don’t think so it runs off at very quickly and dry within an hour. If you can see by the comments the wet humid summer is causing this problem for many people. Some research shows that the bio 360 actually prevents this problem from happening in some cases! Most likely because it prevents some of the rain from being soaked up into the soil
I sure hope that treatment helps your flowers! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hey Gurlie Pie!
I JUST FOUND A BUG EATING MY ZINNIA'S, MY 1ST PRO-CUT!!!
locust everywhere, and a leaf eater, approximately 1/8 " with black bottom, and speckled black/grey/white!
Camouflage on top
Uggg so sorry hopefully you can get rid of that and save the flowers!!! Your grandpa is awesome!! What a blessing to have him!!💕💕
Sorry to hear that 😞 your zinnias are struggling . How are ur glads? I just had a white one bloom today 🌸!!!
They’re great! First one bloomed this week
Hey Nicole. You always remind me w/your sense of humor to keep my chin up! Thank you!!! Lost 25% of my garden b/c of all the rain we got in CT! (Rotting) Then came the Leaf Spot. Feeling guilty complaining since the west and NW are dealing w/drought and fires. Cheering on your Zinnias!! Best of luck.
St Lawrence county here..everything is off...I'm a big tomatoes grower..trimmed my tomatoes a foot up..blight
Zinnia blight is quite common in the humid south. Could be that.
I get zinnia and sunflower blight in the dry California summer too. They’re both just total blight babies. 😒
Mine in MS last year was great. This year they are awful. Not sure I will plant again.
Nicole, I literally cannot stop watching your videos. 🤣 I found you on a whim when I was researching gladiolus and now my husband is about two videos away from prying my phone out of my hands to get me away from your channel. You’re so much fun and so knowledgeable and I can’t stop laughing every time you say “fungicide”. Definitely subscribing. Thank you for the laughs!
🤣💐
Copper Fungicide has an organic formula which works amazingly well on blackspot and other bacterial issues. I used it on my blueberry plants. It was probably caused by the rain. Sorry you ate a bug, but I guess the bright side to that is you got a touch extra protein?!
Good luck! I hope you can contain the issue and save you’re zinnia crop! I’m glad you still have your sense of humor through it all. Thanks for the info and the chuckles! 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
I just found your channel, I love your farm and your style!
I just stumbled across your channel today & am loving the content!!! I’m from Boonville….but Indiana! 💜
I have the same issue with my zinnias too. But it hasn’t slowed down the flower production 🤷🏼♀️
Hey Nicole, just saw the zinnia video. I would change my supplier for zins next year. ⚡️
I did read it can come in the seed
I agree with sunflower Steve copper is good. I grew my zinnias is self watering pots this year. They were all up and looking good then 5" of rain flooded the pots I didn't notice and they drown and rotted. Starting a new batch in flats maybe today if I beat the next round of flooding rain late this afternoon.... Good luck with your zinnias!
Glad you released a video, but sorry to hear about the zinnias. Wishing you all good things. ❤
Oh no, Nicole! I am so, sorry. How inspiring that you are using this tough situation to educate and inform. I just hate when things like this happen. I'm thinking of you. Keep your chin up!
I found this same thing on a small portion of our zinnia patch today after being away for a week. We had a lot of rain while we were gone too. After some research, and watching your video, I am going to pull all of the infected leaves and drench everything in the copper fungicide. :) Fingers crossed this works, for both of us!
That is such a bummer. I hope the copper fungicide works. It would be such a bummer if you had to pull them all. 🤞
More chickens in the videos! There was a brief glimpse of one behind your grandfather. I'd live to see more.
We have planted Zinnias for years to draw in pollinators. But, this year they aren't growing very well. Yours are ten times taller than ours. No blight and very little bug damage. We planted the seeds Memorial Weekend, and never experienced this slow growth before. First we had a drought and now a lot of rain. Maybe that is the cause? Take care!
OMG, I just looked at my zinnias today and 2 of them have those spots on them. We've had a tremendous amount of rain this month too. Sad.
Same thing happened to my zinnias. I’m using 3% Hydrogen Peroxyde I’m applying to the leaves and the soil so far it is working and it is also preventing other plants to get the disease well that’s how we do it in Ecuador 😅
I would thin them out a bit to allow some more airflow. Strip off the lowest leaves to the ground. A hot day will sort them out again.
i foliar feed with seaweed and i have never experienced this.... i live zone 5 Ny... i love me some zinnias, especially to deter that cucumber beetle buddy fella! lol i plant them down my cuke row... good luck
