Green Thumbs: Gardening in Northern Utah


tomato blight

I noticed this afternoon that a lot of my tomato plants have black spots on the leaves.  After looking at the possible causes, I’m pretty sure it’s blight.  Usually late season blight sets in when the weather is too cool and wet.  Unfortunately we’ve had an extremely wet, cool June.  And that’s not good for my poor tomatoes.  I’ll take off the affected leaves tomorrow, and it’s going to be ugly out there.  I’m glad we found it before we leave for 2 weeks (vacations come at the wrong time for gardeners!), but still, what a pain.
