Hello, we always have BEAUTIFUL delphiniums but not this year. I always start them off (when they are about a foot tall) with a capful of Bayer Systemic Fertilizer and about a tsp of lime worked into the soil around the plant. They were doing great, but by mid July they started developing black spots on the leaves and black stems. I tried treating with a 70% Neem spray but it didn’t help. We ended up taking down the plants the end of July. :-( I’ve enclosed some pictures — I hope this wasn’t blight.... Do I have to change out the soil or amend the soil? I’ve also enclosed some pictures of a berry-bearing plant in the woods behind our house for ID. Thanks so much for your help! Lorna Young
