On the other hand ...

If oak wilt weren't enough, Sauk County now has potato blight.

As in the blight that caused the Irish Potato Famine of the 1840's.

The blight is affecting both tomatoes and potatoes in the county. The University of Wisconsin Extension believes the blight was brought into Wisconsin through seedlings grown in blight infected states.

Blight is destructive and tough to beat. The Extension recommends total destruction of plants in infected areas, and not planting tomatoes or potatoes in the area for a year or two.

Closer to home, I think one of my iris patches has borers. It isn't exactly potato blight, but it isn't a good thing, either.

On the other hand, weeds are doing well, everywhere.
