Well, it ain't no fun when your plants get infected with disease.
But on the plus side, I get to create these handy documents with
photos showing the disease.
I hope to expand this to improve the information, but for now, I
hope the pictures are worth a thousand words for those of you needing
a diagnosis.

Good news according to the Cornell site is that it doesn't persist in plant debirs, nor is it trasmitted
in the seed.
