I have finally saw the first PM of the season on a couple of leaves on the 1367.5 plant. It's not yet severe. I have never seen PM before and am wondering if it's necessary to continue the fungicide battle this late in the season. I am not able to spray without a great deal of pain, but I will if I have to. Will the PM spread quickly enough to end the season early, or is it OK to let it go?

Monty, the longer you keep your plant healthy, the greater your chances of putting on all those September inches and pounds.

I would not just let it go. Take a buddy with you to do the spraying, just supply the beer and make a day of it.

Good luck/Glenn

Monty, I would pay my kid to do it! I'd get'em all dressed up nice and safe, gloves, hat, pants, long-sleeves and give him ice-cream after he's taken a nice bath afterwards!
