Potato plants are NOT doing too well. Any idea of what I should do?

Lots of damage on these guys unfortunately, I haven’t been able to look at the garden too much since I’ve been busy with work!

Potato plants have been looking like this, they’re watered daily, weekly they’re fertilized (miracle-gro), and last year we had issues with slugs. This year the plants were rotated to be planted in a more sunny spot, and I have only been able to spot a singular slug this whole season.

Should I be watering less? Fertilizing less? Different fertilizer? Didn’t have this issue last year and I’m trying to figure out what they need to get better.

Help with potatoes

Leaves are starting to be a bit rough, any idea of what could be going after them? I’m assuming the white stuff is from the fertilizer water accidentally hitting the leaves (oops)

Had issues with slugs last year, but haven’t seen them at all this year. Will definitely be setting up a trap for them soon just in case.

Is this the right way to take care of Wild Roses? if not, PLEASE HELP.

My dad had decided to plant some wild roses in our yard as a gift for my mother, and they are not doing too good.. at first I thought it was just shock from putting them into new soil, but its been about three weeks and they look, well, very sad looking.

When he planted them, he said he put fertilizer mixed in with the dirt, that he waters them daily and once a week does a watering with fertilizer. They're in a location which gets a good amount of sun in the morning, but less in the afternoon due to the shade of other nearby plants. However, im doubting if this is the right way to care for them, because they look very sad.

My camera quality is not very good, but i tried to get a good photo of the state the leaves are in. Any advice is appreciated

I'm wanting to come out to my family soon - ive come out as transgender before, and said that I didnt identify with what I was born as, but didnt tell them to use different pronouns or a different name for me. Now, I am wanting to tell them my preferred name and pronouns!

I was thinking of just telling them, "hey I'm a guy" and giving them a pamphlet which helps explain it, but i cant just leave them with that and not explain my perspective, so I wanted to know, what do you recommend??

Ive written up a short letter with my perspective on it, and might share that with them too. its just the nerves of standing there and waiting for their reaction..
