I do have some leaves turning yellow, so I suspect the N in the fertilizer is being used up by now. I only applied the TTF once because it was already late in the season. I have always thought you were supposed to stop fertilizing by August. I could apply some now and see what happens. Interestingly, even with the yellowing leaves there is little or no disease. it just went away.
