Yes, blight was bad this year.<br /> Julie, You may think twice about getting this bush, but it is beautiful.Kathryn Stripling Byerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867152753841610044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-52807125460562519462009-09-13T18:07:24.976-07:002009-09-13T18:07:24.976-07:00Kay I have heard it called "Fire on the Mount...Kay I have heard it called "Fire on the Mountain" and someone said it is in the botanical family of polygonaceae. It is beautiful at this time of year but it is a true pest. You do not want this plant, because the name comes from poly (many) gonum (seed) and it spreads like kudzu. I tore up my tomatoes vines and tried to burn them. Tomatoes don't take to fire except in pans. Our garden is mostly gone too except for beets, sweet potatoes and okra. Pulled up the corn, most of the squash and planted some fall lettuce, spinach, cabbage and broccoli. I was almost buried with food this year except for tomatoes which blighted worse than ever before.Newthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10879231626036464079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-80824538638712867922009-09-11T12:22:48.409-07:002009-09-11T12:22:48.409-07:00Oh, so beautiful.

Our tomatoes didn't produce well this summer either - guess it was all of the rain. I'll miss summer. It's my favorite time of the year.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7357199451052416763.post-68384246258397413612009-09-01T14:05:54.345-07:002009-09-01T14:05:54.345-07:00Glad to see you back, K!

And I too am ready to tear up the old blighted maters and plow under the cornstalks and feed the buggy broccoli to the chickens. <br /><br />The cool air lies like a blessing on my skin!Vicki Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08114677510459055768noreply@blogger.com
