Oregano - Black Spots.

LK_Dave · 2012-05-20 15:33:06

Hello All, My oregano has developed black spots. They look like burns, a eventually results in holes in the leaves and a whole stem appear to die back. The plant is outside in a raised bed - planted from pot last year. I have not fed it with any fertilizer. Other herds don't appear to be effected - fennel, chives, parsley…

Hello All,

My oregano has developed black spots. They look like burns, a eventually results in holes in the leaves and a whole stem appear to die back.

The plant is outside in a raised bed - planted from pot last year. I have not fed it with any fertilizer. Other herds don't appear to be effected - fennel, chives, parsley and garlic.

Is there anything I can do to cure the plant of this blight? Would cutting back the stems to the base be an option?

Thanks

D
