Early Blight is something that plagues me in wet seasons such as this one.

But, rotating crops/beds and growing blight-resistant varieties helps A LOT, as does a spray of copper when you’re doing that first pruning of the season.

I couldn’t get to any of that this season as it rained every 18 hours or so for weeks on end.

It is what it is. Some years you just have to take your losses and move on, LOL!

I am SO GLAD that I know how to get to the grocery store if need be. ;)

Thanks. I plan to look into the blight-resistant varieties, and I am not alone in seeing this "plague" here. Abnormally dry and hot late July may have something to do with it. But no lack of food around here, thank God, though I think famine will come in the future.
