I Kill Everything

Not purposely though!!! I am referring to everything I am trying to grow in our little backyard garden area.  Remember my beautiful potted pink  impatient plant? It was originally hanging on the post of our porch, but it started killing the bush underneath it. All of these little spores fell on the bush and the leaves started dying, so now I have a foot+ diameter hole of dead branches on it. I took the potted plant down and put it on a holder on the patio itself, but since then it has started turning brown. All the leaves in the middle are dead; only the ones on the outsides are still green. I have no idea what’s wrong. I water it EVERY day.

Flowers 096  (This is what it looked like before the Death)

I also planted a tomato plant back there, but I made the mistake of not caging it because I didn’t think of it until it was too late. The thing grew all sideways like a vine, encroaching on the other bush it was planted next to and starting to kill parts of that. I finally bought a cage, but by this time the plant was up past my waist and had three separate stems. John and I wrangled it into the cage this morning, but in the process we broke several branches off, including the only 2 (still green) tomatoes  it has produced yet. I was so upset. But it’s my fault for being dumb about tomatoes in the first place. Remind me never to plant anything again if I want it to live!

Oh come on ;) there is a reason why gardening is a profession! ..
btw- maybe you watered the plant too much?
