Lost the stump on the 962.5 today. I saw that the leaves on the first secondary vine were dying off and there was more ooze on the stump. After some scraping I was down to less than a fourth of the stump, so I cut the main a safe distance past the dying vine. It looked like the main was OK, but as I pulled the sick vine it was full of blowouts and brown mush. I will treat the cut end of the main with Daconil and sulfur, and use systemic fungicides on the rest of the plant (Agri Fos and Infuse) On the bright side, I picked a 5 gallon bucket of tomatoes and peppers and the sweetcorn will be ready by the weekend, if the coons stay out. So far the electric fence is keeping the coons and groundhogs out, but rabbits get in and eat tomatoes.
