What disease runs rampant in your garden every year, and what do you use to slow it down or stop it?

How lucky I am NOT to have rampant disease. Prevention is the key: weed control, bleaching tomato and pepper cages, watching for insect problems and treating early, mulching program and keeping the garden free of dead or dying vegetation, clean up at the end of the season.

Prevention is great, and it helps. But in Florida, in the summer, disease is an inevitability. Different tomato leaf diseases depending on the year - I have had them all be rampant in one year or another (sometimes more than one at a time ) except for late blight. Anthracnose on bell peppers is another one that drives me nuts. If I could find an anthracnose-resistant bell pepper I would be a happy camper.

I get some tomato dieases, but sort of at random. The disease I get all the time, thus I basically have to grow just one variety (county fair) that is resistant, is bacterial wilt on cucumbers. I have even tried totally covering the cukes, figuring the cucumber or potato beetles bring it in to them, but that didn't work. One of those things like SVBs, that I have simply given up on.

Septoria occurs every year on the tomatoes, i prefer not to even consider sprays.

Fungal diseases of every kind run rampant during the summer months. This year, I'll be testing Organicide as a systemic control.
