This blight needs to be taken seriously. It is the same blight that caused infamous potato famine in Ireland. Please follow the link to learn more about Late Blight. DEM is asking gardeners, as well as commercial growers, to check their plants DAILY for brown lesions. Of course, the blame for this outbreak is the damp and humid weather we are experiencing.
The news release provides all the information you need. They are concerned that the spores, which spread easily, will reach commercial growers. "DEM views the disease as a serious threat to agriculture."
