It's pythium blight! Hurrah!

Seriously, we thought it was something much, much worse than that. This is something that, although it can be a problem, there is potential to control it. Once we found out the diagnosis, I realized we had been doing all the things that would start a nice, big, fungusy, pythium blight.

Now we need to adjust our watering habits and see what happens.

The lady from the extension office said, "I wish I had better news."

I told her it was great news, thanked her profusely, and told her how great it felt just to finally know what was causing it, as if she was a doctor explaining a horrendous and mystifying malady to me.

She must think I'm nuts.

***Hi Brenda, pythium will take out your whole garden and spread from leaf to leaf. It hadn't gotten to our herbs or carrots yet. I'm very grateful.***

She must think you are nuts. LOL I had to look this up to see what it was. Never heard of it before, but after reading on it, I realize I have seen it a few times. Anyway, hope you can get it under wraps and fixed so you don't loose any more plants.

God's Blessings,
