milford, CT,

My plants looked really fresh 2 weeks ago..in the last 2 weeks I have noticed a rapid aging on the middle of the plants..is this normal for this time of the year. It is not new for me..I normally see this at @ September 1st.. but you know how we all are looking for another 2-3 weeks of decent growth. I have stayed up on sprays and don't have any powdery mildew. No Mites or aphids either. It might just be normal but I figured I'd see what is normal for other growers?

If I had to guess I'd say it looks like gummy stem blight? I Cut out many infected leaves and sprayed with mancozeb. Just want 2 more weeks of healthy leaves...I'll post a picture tonight. Mark

Mark, I'm not the expert but pictures look like normal aging to me. I have the same thing.
