Being in the northeast your disease pressure should be similar to mine.

Nematode
Now that the rains are finally over and no new storms are in the forecast till next week, I may have opportunity to make a plan. I checked the garden this morning and the Soap Shield copper has helped a lot, it holds up well against the rain. I see some new yellowed branches on a few plants which I will need to prune and spray again with the copper. Probably didn't get good coverage on those anyway. The others I will try the neem oil and potassium bicarbonate and see how that goes. I also have Organicide 3 in 1, I'll spray a row of plants and see how that compares. Actinovate has helped in the past as a preventive, I want to use that along with compost tea in rotation.
Septoria is my only problem, EB hasn't been a problem since I've been inoculating seedlings early with Mycorrhizal fungi. I see less and less EB every year.

So what's your plan?
