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

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?
