With heavy rain forecasted in the Gulf region this week, Louisiana homeowners are urged to take proactive steps to protect their homes and families in the event of severe weather.
The LSU AgCenter LaHouse Research and Education Center recommends the following steps:
● Clean gutters and downspouts to help water drain properly.
● Secure loose items outdoors to prevent damage in high winds.
● Check your roof and windows for weak points. Patch up sections of your roof that are missing shingles and cover your windows if needed.
● Make sure your family has supplies in the event of a power outage.

We have received several calls this week regarding unusual damage on vegetable gardens, including okra, squash, and tomatoes.

Symptoms being reported include interveinal browning or necrotic areas on leaves. Based on guidance from LSU AgCenter plant pathology, this damage is most likely the result of heavy rainfall followed by cooler temperatures.

While the symptoms may look concerning, this type of injury is weather-related and plants are expected to recover on their own as conditions improve.

At this time, no treatment is recommended. Continue normal care and monitor plants for new, healthy growth.

We have included photos for reference. If you have questions about your garden, feel free to reach out to the LSU AgCenter office.
