<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 2, 2010) The tomato plants in the garden are growing like they&apos;re never going to stop - and if it weren&apos;t for frost, they probably wouldn&apos;t.  Martha Foley talks with horticulturalist Amy Ivy of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton and Essex counties about caring for tomato plants mid-summer, including early blight, late blight and when to pinch off new blossoms and green growth.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15884/20100628/late-blight-vs-early-blight-explained</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 28, 2010) Growers are nervous this summer as they hope late blight won&apos;t resurface in the North Country.  The disease devastated tomato and potato crops across the Northeast last summer.  David Sommerstein talks with Amy Ivy, horticulturalist for the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Clinton and Essex counties, for the latest on late blight.  She says gardeners are confusing the disease with early blight and other, more common, diseases.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15467/20100405/vegetable-gardeners-on-the-look-out-for-a-return-of-late-blight</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 5, 2010) It was in the 80s and 90s across the North Country this past weekend. Some eager gardeners were no doubt out in the vegetable patch, planting the earliest of early crops, like spinach and peas. It won&apos;t be long till the planting season is underway in earnest. And there&apos;s an important question lingering from last year: what about late blight? Horticulturist Amy Ivy assures Martha Foley there are no worries about tomatoes carrying the disease over the winter, but potatoes are another story.
