What my garden looks like in early July
Early July gardens are often quite different from late July gardens here in So Cal because of the early morning over cast or " June gloom" as it called. These overcast mornings cool our temperatures and give us just enough moisture to keep things not looking burned ... The side effect is some plants like calendulas and snap dragons even petunias don't do very well because of lack of heat and sun. If you are having problems check amount of sun and water levels in your soil. Could be your plants are getting moldy. I also suggest just pulling the whole plant out and taking it to your local nursery not a big name store, and asking their advice. It could be soil components or pests that are creating your problem. They will know the answer!!!
