Thanks Bill! And thanks for sharing your bleach treatment recipe with the forum. Good to know that it will require multiple treatments. I'll ask my husband to spray everything again in a few days.

It has only drizzled a few times today, so I went out and pruned some more foliage off. My husband is going to spray the rest of the plants with the bleach before it gets dark, if it doesn't start raining again. He only did half the plants yesterday, so he'll do the rest today. We just bought a new backpack sprayer yesterday, since our old one was not pumping very well, and it really made a big difference!

Most of the plants that had a lot of the mold showing were early reds like Stupice and Prairie Fire. The GWRs and blacks were only planted out about 3 weeks ago, so they're not too big yet. But they probably have it too.
