Here it is. The tops of my green beans with the worst I've ever seen in 10 years of gardening. I know it was this because the ones I didn't spray are fine.

Basil looks awful

Never seen it with this bad in 10 years here's what it looked like this morning and the past decade

The tops of all my sunflowers that I sprayed turn very light green never seen anything like this before

Not sure what is happening but it was clearly without question caused by the spray. I'm trying to stay positive but there's no way something this odd and out of the ordinary happening the things I've grown for 10 years can likely be good

When (time of day) did you spray?

Some plants are quite sensitive to neem and it should be avoided. This includes most herbs but certainly basil.

It was morning. I always thought neem oil "could do no wrong" clearly I was mistaken. I had no idea many plants are really sensitive to it. THANKS! I am really hoping they pull through.

Yes, some plants are more sensitive. Also, if it's sunny, that can help cause leaf burn problems. Oils can be a little tricky.

Out of curiosity, what are you treating these different plants for?

It was for a fungus. Some things are recovering well. Center of sunflowers still very light green and looking iffy. Only sprayed a few - so I kind of was careful.
