May 20, 2018Q.Caring for Matthiola incana – stock
How do I know where to cut the stem to dead head my stock flowers. I also would like to plant them in my garden (they are in pots right now) and see if I can encourage another bloom in the fall when the temps go down. I live in zone 5b. Also, I would like to see if I can protect them over the winter and see if I can have stock flowers from these same plants next spring. Is that possible? Thank you Susan

June 4, 2018Q.stocks flowers
to encourage new blooms it says to dead head. Where or how far down do you cut back? deer have eaten the top off several of the plants and they haven't produced any more leaves or flowers therefore I'm hesitant to cut back the seed pods that are now forming on some of the plants. I was hoping to have color all summer long not just bloom once and done.

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. If all other environmental factors are controlled, then I have to assume that they had received to much water. This will cause root rot, and root suffocation, which will cause the symptoms that you see.
Here is more information on the requirements of the plant:

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. I am unable to ID the problem. Normally, black spots will be bacterial, or fungal. This will signify that the soil does not get a chance to dry out thoroughly between waterings.
Here are some articles to help:

UKQ.Stocks With Speckled Leaves (UK)
I'm quite new to be gardening. I've grown a number of stocks from seed and transferred them outside a few weeks ago. They continued to grow and were very happy. I noticed some specks on the leaves and originally thought it was supposed to be that way, but now some of the spots are turning into little holes holes. The plants also seem less happy. It's hard to find any information on Google because everything seems to suggest this powderY mildew, but the specks are not powdery. What is it? What should I do??

Certified ExpertA.This is one of many fungal diseases. They can be caused by high humidity, splashing water on the leaves, or infected soils splashing up on the plant. Drip irrigation, or watering, only, the base of the plant will be one way to avoid future infections. Making sure the soil dries out thoroughly down to 2 or 3 inches between watering will help, also.
Treat with a fungicide, as soon as possible.

Certified ExpertA.Many people use this for home made paper! I suppose you could use the oils, within, for your project. That would be interesting.
