Fighting Tomato Blight | Identification and Management

It’s another hot summer morning in the garden, and the battle against tomato blight is on. As the walnuts drop like missiles around me, I grab my coffee and pruning shears to tackle this pesky, soil-borne fungus that threatens my tomato plants. Blight starts with tiny spots on the lower leaves, turning them yellow, then brown, creeping its way up the plant, and eventually, it could kill it. I’ll show you how I identify blight, prune away affected branches, and share some hard-learned lessons on keeping it under control. We’ll talk about prevention, like keeping leaves trimmed up from the ground and mulching well to stop that nasty fungus from splashing up. I also share my experience with powdery mildew on zucchinis and pumpkins—another garden menace! It’s all part of that end-of-summer scramble to keep things alive, healthy, and producing. So join me in the garden as I show you the reality of fighting blight, managing fungus, and squeezing the most out of the season’s harvest. Happy gardening! 🍅Early Signs and Prevention: Tomato blight starts with small spots on the leaves that turn yellow, then brown, progressing from the bottom of the plant upwards. Regularly prune the lower leaves after fruit sets to prevent soil-borne fungus from splashing onto the leaves. 🍅Managing Blight: Remove affected branches immediately and do not leave them in the garden. You can burn them or compost them if the compost gets hot enough. Keeping the garden well-mulched and ensuring good airflow through regular pruning also helps. 🍅Impact on Plants and Fruit: Blight will eventually kill the plant if not managed. Infected fruits show spots and may not ripen properly, leading to soft rot spots. 🍅Challenges with Eradication: Once blight is present, it's difficult to eradicate entirely. However, managing it can extend the growing season and reduce its impact on the harvest. 🍅Other Fungal Issues: Powdery mildew is another common issue affecting zucchini and pumpkin plants. It can be identified by white spots that can be wiped away. Managing these diseases requires consistent garden maintenance and monitoring. --------------- 👕 Shop Our Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/1870sme... 🌻 HOSS Garden Tools & Seeds: https://shrsl.com/33ehp (Promo Code SHOP1870 for free seeds!) 🌱 MIGardener: https://migardener.com/1870 🌺 GREENSTALK Vertical Gardens: https://greenstalkgarden.com/?rstr=SH...
