Attention all gardeners: Late Blight has been confirmed in Huntington, VT. It is a disease that affects potatoes and tomatoes, will quickly devastate gardens and can spread quickly. You may be able to prevent an infection but once your plants are infected you cannot save them. If your garden becomes infected, place any diseased plants in plastic bags and dispose of in the land fill in order to limit contamination – do not burn or compost as the spores can overwinter to re-infect your garden next year. "Serenade" can be used for organic gardening and is available at local garden stores and protects against many plant diseases, including black spot, powdery mildew, rust, gray mold, leaf blight and scab. Generally most effective when regular spraying begins early in the season before diseases take hold. Serenade Garden Disease Control contains a unique, patented strain (QST 713) of Bacillus subtilis which controls diseases such as Fire Blight, Botrytis, Sour Rot, Rust, Sclerotinia, Powdery Mildew, Bacterial Spot and White Mold.“
