Turn off the rain faceut!

So much rain! Again, and again! Not sure if we will open today, we will see what it is doing at 10 am., looks like a large system of rain cruisin over us. So with all the moisture brings garden issues:

The iris are likely to get leaf spot. Just what it is...spots on the leaves. Brought on by wet conditions like we have had with no drying time or sun shine. Does not kill the plant, but can look unslighty. After the sun shines again, access the damage and you can trim some of the leaves off, but no more than 50%.

Early Blight on Tomato: Wet conditions are prime for early/late blight which is an umbrella term that covers many viruses and diseases. This is when proper spacing for air flow is essential to try to keep plants dry. Many issues are air borne/water borne and move more easily with moist air.
