Just getting hit with late-blight on the tomatoes this year. We normally would have a frost soon so it isn’t that big a deal. Luckily we harvested potatoes before it hit.

The tomatoes, red or green, get little brown spots and just rot ina day or so. Some look like they were hit with a butane flame, brownish spot with blisters around the edges.

So far the peppers don’t have it. Our first tomatoes came along in late July so we have lots of spaghetti sauce in the freezer.
