The Dreaded Blight...JUNE GLOOM in the AFTERNOON

I was at the garden yesterday and noticed the blight on my tomatoes. I have like 5 back-ups plants but the heirloom tomatoes were affected. Holy Crap! I cut the affected leaves and also cut a stem back. This always happens. At least in Hawaii, the weather is warm and consistent. It is in the low 60's as the sun goes down with the marine layer out here 5 miles from the ocean. This was the highlight of the afternoon. Whole bunch of gorgeous blooms. The rust was there on a few of the rose bushes but there is nothing I can do about that. I am not spraying anything in my vegetable garden. The zucchini plants are coming along just fine. They have grown so much since last week. I would not be surprised if there was a fruit on it.I went to OSH and purchased terra cotta pots for my students as gifts. I am going to put seed packs in them. Great minds are always growing. Anyway, my school garden looks lush. I am not looking forward to the 100+ temperatures.
