Should I start spraying???
Hello All, I have about 55 plants that were all doing well, but i seem to be now plagued with septoria, or some kind of blight. Ive NEVER had to spary before but it seems I may have to. I removed all diseased leaves a week or so ago and now more infection is appearing. See photos. SOme varieties are more affected than others; my isis candy plants and italian heirlooms have been pretty badly beaten up. I have access to the Fungonil concentrate; I believe it makes one gallon of spray, yet others have indicated to use only 1T per gallon. PLease clarify. Do you have any idea of how many gallons I would need to treat 50 plants? What are the implications of using a fungicide? I assume my kids and I will no longer be able to eat right from the vine and washing the fruit becomes very important? I definitely late with this decision but I figure better late than never. My plants have been in the ground since May 21 so they are full of fruit. I hate to lose them all now. Please help. A few shots of Blondekopfchen and Jaunne Flamme for your entertainment as well. Best regards to you all.
