Damn, damn, damn! The deadly wilt strikes again. We (Santa Monica CA) had a bad spell all over town about 3-4 years ago. Why does this (*&^$%^))_* strike every few years -- and why not, come to think of it, EVERY year?
I don't see too many others on the NG from So. Calif. coastal, but if you are out there, could you say whether you're having it too?
Grrrrrrrr!
Warmth and humidity has much to do with it. Here (Oz not SoCal) the worst time is a rainy summer with warm cloudy days of drizzling rain.
