Late blight now confirmed on tomato and potato in Mifflin Co., PA

Tania,

Hope you get through it too this year. Like you I lost mine to late blight last year. I didn't pay attention and didn't even know it was in the state for a whole month before I got it.

Barkeater, I hope your plants survive the late blight, keep spraying if you can. I think Tom in CT has suggested that fishmilk (gardening in the green forum) helped his plants make it for a longer duration in the past so he could get some harvest before the plants went down.

As long as I keep up my weekly sprays of Daconil (Funginol) I should be fine. It worked in 2009 when everyone around me had lost their tomatoes by now. We shall see!

Still no sign of LB here in Stamford, CT; although, after being away on vacation for a week of wet humid weather, I do have the first major appearance this year of septoria (pretty aggressive too).

Do you all see on the left index of the wesite the Vegetable Disease heading that shows in great detail some of the tomato and potato diseases? Some great pics to use as reference.
