The soil where I planted the potatoes is the unhealthiest I have (as far as planting space goes). Thanks for thinking it all through for me!mandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116676892734212010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-71395812974555735272010-04-28T20:34:50.781-05:002010-04-28T20:34:50.781-05:00Probably a blight... My potatoes often get this.....Probably a blight... My potatoes often get this... and I actually ignore it (lazy...). Last year it was really bad all over the US, though we didn't suffer too badly I think because our soil is getting healthier. <br /><br />But still, this year I have a plan. Try this: spray all your plants with raw milk diluted in water. Maybe a quart of milk to a gallon of water (you could dilute it even more if milk is precious). Use a watering can to sprinkle it all over the ground as well. The good buggies in the milk combat the bad buggies that are making your plants sick.<br /><br />Most likely the fungus is in your ground and it will easily spread to the other plants, so prophylactic use of raw milk might stave off further attack.Rosie_Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08363843512357526257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2198288786583198091.post-76294592229820153442010-04-26T23:06:09.182-05:002010-04-26T23:06:09.182-05:00My nectarine has a fungus.

Couldn't figure it out.<br /><br />It *is* so funny how we're growing the same things at the same time! Are you in zone 9?<br /><br />P.S.
