Tania · August 5, 2012

We have lots of LB damage in my area by now.

My GH tomatoes are still OK though, and I hope they'll stay that way until I get to sample some right tomatoes. But I lost half of my potato beds, luckily foliage only, the tubers were still OK.

I hope the hot and dry spell we are finally having now will make the late blight go dormant. Please no rain in the next 2 weeks and no more heavy dews!!!!
