Not even the end of May and already the downward spiral has started. I noticed these leaves on my Stump of the World today:

The lower leaves are yellow and dead. I'm so upset but I should have known, this has become a real problem in my garden. It's hot, humid and in recent years more shade due to growing nearby trees. It's been rainy for several weeks but actually a better spring than many I've had here. Not much space to allow for rotation, either. All I want are some decent tomatoes after all the work and effort, waaaaa!!!!!

This year I started a preventative spraying of daconil from the getgo. My garden was just devastated by early blight last year. Hideous. I sprayed after the fact but it seems once the EB gets a foothold, it is just a losing fight.
