Did you experience the disappointment of losing your tomatoes to late blight? You are not alone. Gardeners a...nd farmers across the mid-Atlantic region lost their tomatoes and potatoes to a fairly new strain of late blight this past summer. The University of Maryland Extension Garrett County office is offering this class again due to great public interest. The speaker will discuss prevention and good management practices that will help you to combat late blight and other pests and diseases in your garden. Come and discover the circumstances surrounding this year’s outbreak of late blight and what you can do to avoid this and other diseases next year. Attendees will learn to recognize the symptoms associated with early blight, late blight, and powdery mildew. Integrated pest management strategies pertaining to insects will also be discussed briefly. Some take home materials will be provided.
