Strawberry story

The strawberries have a leaf blight. It’s their second year, they were planted in April 2018. The variety is Albion, from Fedco, an ever bearing variety.

It’s been a wet spring this year, a lot of rain, which may have encouraged the fungus.

Sam put down alfalfa pellets, thinking the extra nitrogen might help them.

Today, I weeded the whole bed. Then I decided to pick off most of the leaves including some of the dead ones on the ground, I didn’t eliminate the blight by any means, but we’ll see if the plants can recover on their own with new growth. They’ll need drip irrigation.
