Watch your gardens folks.

[thefactor]

i've been to Plattsburgh.

finding fungus up there doesn't surprise me in the least.

[DManA]

Kudos to WCAX for not making the obligatory link to global warming.

The fungus hasn't made it this far north in about a decade,

[DManA]

So, what’s the cure?

[who knows what evil?]

Get this out to the ‘Garden List’ ASAP!

[Calpernia]

Please ping all your agri and garden lists.

Interestingly, my ancestors ended up in Plattsburgh in 1845 after fleeing the Potato Famine in Ireland.

[The Great RJ]

Certainly due to global warming and is George Bush’s fault. Now if Lord Obama would just lay hands on the infected plants to heal them and give massive subsidies to potato, egg plant and tomato farmers, production would be stimulated and this crisis solved. (sarcasm)

Damn English!

I started my tomatoes and eggplants from seeds!

[hiredhand]

Did you see this?...probably want to follow it!

[Daisyjane69]

oh wow...

Blights are a nightmare!

[Deb]

Here’s hoping the folks from Plattsburgh aren’t too drunk to fish.

We raised all of our own plants from seed this year in the little plastic greenhouses you can buy at Walmart. Hopefully we won’t be infected with any of this. All of my tomatoe plats this year are heirloom varities as well as the bell peppers too. Hopefully my 88 tomoato platns will give us enough canned for two years. :)

My tater patch is bearing little purple blooms now. No sign of the blight, but I do have plants so heavy they sometimes tip over and then bend back upward through phototropism, forming an odd l-shaped plant.

I hope that means I’ll be getting taters.

[Jackknife]

Obama’s fault.
