My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

The problem child...

10 years ago

The first year I had her a few leaves developed spots (on entire leaf, not just white) of no concern. American Sweetheart is in a good amount of mid day sun as it is claimed she should tolerate as well as a white center might.


the second year ever more leaves and a bit more prominent but no concerns, aside yanking the leaves out and blaming sun, slugs, weather... and well, anything under the sun that typically could cause issues.

This year is much worse with no leaf clear of this damage of some degree (new or old). Pictures show how the spots progress. Neighbors, Francee and F. Aureomarginata are unaffected by so much as a bite or spot.

I am now paranoid without doubt. Especially remembering bkay's ordeal. So is AS just delicious slug bait or do I consider early stage Anthracnose? I'm quite familiar with it on trees but here I am uncertain. I don't think its nems. I even have litlle seedlings 4 feet away and not a mark, so I find it hard to blame the biting kind of nuisance. I'm not opposed to pitching her when it goes dormant... but I have fungicide on hand and plan to spray tonight. In the meantime I would like opinions.
