Late blight has just killed most of my Angelina Mahoney's Blue potato vines and a lot of my Red Warbas. Many other seems untouched, and in Tom's patch too.. My tomatoes, growing pretty close to taters, seem untouched, but I stay darn away from them.
Some have been hit bad in the other garden too.

I tried a sunberry and blueberry pie, since nobody would eat the sunberry pie.
The fruit flies loved it, the humans were simply disgusted...

I never had disease problem untill 3 years ago. Even now, I do not have much. Healthy plants are a good way to fight any diseases. But sometimes, they are all over the place. The solution, for me, in these very cold rainy years that might be my new climate, is to stay away from the plants, not touching them at all.

A little update on green Jewell: even large, it is delicious and crunchy, just had some cooked on the barbecue.... Not you, not you ;D The folks at the Grin genebank were right in their description of it as being delicious and early

Here again, I second Patrick. There are strains of these diseases.
And I second him with the final solution too, we simply have to get rid of them.
Knowing what the diseases are helps only to try to find plants that are resistant later, it never helps in the year it happens. Cull and keep on...

¸I don't think so. Green Jewell is the name of the company btw. it definitely is not looking like that one. It sizes up pretty fast. The color is similar but that is about it. I took some pictures of the big ones but cannot find them in the puter, which is going for repairs tomorrow, it is losing it.
