What did you do in the garden today?

How can I deal with the late blight on my tomatoes? Only a couple are affected right now but I’ve been cutting off any affected parts I see but it isn’t making any difference.
Actually it doesn’t look like late blight, more like early or septoria
 
They are actually Lagomorphs not rodents. They are pretty similar but lagomorphs have two sets of upper incisors and different jaw structure
Meaning,sorry, I too call them rodents. Having trouble with the voice to type commands while I cook.

I think you might be fighting an uphill battle at this point. Copper sulfate and affected leaf removal may help hold it back a bit.
 
Looks good. I was interested in how you were going to use that pectin. Is it something you can hold for future use? Or did you already answer that and I missed it?
I answered it in another thread, another post. I froze two cups for later use if I need it.

I woke up early for some reason today... 3:30. So I made my Oregon Grape jelly. I ended up with three half-pint jars that I processed in boiling water, plus enough to spread on a piece of toast. One Ball lid, two Walmart Mainstays lids, all sealed tight.

I put the extra bit in the fridge and it jelled nicely. I used the pectin I extracted from green apples last weekend.

There was no consistency in all the Oregon Grape jelly recipes I found online so I came up with my own measurements...

1.5 cups boiled and strained Oregon grape juice
0.5 cups apple pectin extract
2.5 cups sugar
1 tablespoon lime juice

I have two cups of the apple pectin left, which I froze. Then I went back to bed and slept til 9am.

I don't notice any apple flavor in the pectin extract I got from the green apples. And Oregon Grapes aren't true grapes at all, so it's not really grape/apple jelly. But it does sound like a good combination!
