Blight in the greenhouse ...
« on: July 31, 2009, 11:24 »
... I'm pretty certain that its blight and I cannot believe it.

I have snipped off and removed every trace of diseased leaf, plant and fruit and have sprayed with bordeaux mixture.

I know it's pretty useless to even try but I am not going to give up my potential crop without a fight. 

I am sick and tired of this global warming malarky ... so much for the predicted devastation of acres of green to be replaced by desert. 

Fer crissakes just give it up with the raining and give me a shadow of a chance would you???  grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Any tips and suggestions would be gratefully received, but don't bother to tell me I'm wasting my time ... in my heart I know this already!

Maybe thats the solution to the economic crisis: sell half the rain to the French  ::)
We could certainly do with it round here.

Just walked across what we call "the lawn", and its actually crunching now.
How about sending the rain back in empty wine bottles?

Well I thought I would report back that here I am just about a week on from my discovery and I'm still in there and fighting. 

None of the 12 plants have died, although I have taken out every bit of diseased plant and really trimmed back on any growth and foiliage that isn't there to support the fruits. 

I'm far from complacent, but I just might have the bleeping stuff on the run long enough to ripen more of the crop!!

Woooohooo!!!
