This is the first time I've ever had to say it. Crop failure. As most of you know there is a blight epidemic this year. Looks like I am going to have to pull and burn all of my plants. I've been fighting it for a couple of weeks but it just keeps spreading. I'm so bummed I can't even write anymore about it. Guess I will just cut my losses and go see the French peeps after all. Here's a few links about it. Cornell University also has a weekly update on tracking it around the country.
