Hi,
We are attempting to grow some sprouts in our garden for the first
time. They were doing ok for a while but now some of the outer leaves
are going red. We have a teasel about 2 metres away from the sprouts,
the leaves are turning red also. Is there a connection? Could the
teasel be infecting the sprouts in some way? Any advice appreciated!

This is the time of year when second-year teasels die off after the
seeds have ripened, so, maybe not. However, teasels are
blackfly-magnets, and blackfly *CAN* spread disease, especially viral,
so, maybe.
