  • Fungal Friends (Not the Good Kind):Yep, fungi love to munch on our plants, leading to those dreaded spots.

A gardener's tale: the great tomato blight of 2022

Let me tell you about the summer of 2022., you know what I mean? no kidding, i was living in Atlanta, and the humidity was OFF. THE. CHARTS. My beautiful tomato plants, usually thriving, started developing these ugly, spreading lesions, right? I panicked! Turns out, it was a fungal blight. I was so new to gardening back then and hadn't a clue! anyway, i didn't have good air circulation around the plants and didn't notice the earliest spotting.

I quickly removed affected leaves (and mourned their loss), improved air circulation, and treated the remaining plants with fungicide. — sort of It was a close call, but I managed to salvage most of the crop. That try out taught me the importance of regular inspection and swift action. (well, almost) Seriously, check your plants often!

  1. honestly, identify the Problem:Carefully examine the leaves. What do the spots look like? Are they spreading? Are other plants affected?
  2. Isolate the Patient:I think, if it seems contagious (like a fungal infection), move the affected plant away from others to prevent spread.

  4. Adjust Conditions:Check your watering habits, sunlight exposure, and nutrient levels, right? Are you providing the right environment?
