2009 was the first year I (and other gardners here) had had blackspot. And it's a pain in the butt! It's not fun at all and it does make the plant look gross. And we had slugs, too!! That's a total first.. I haven't seen slugs since I moved to Colorado in '01!! I used GreenLight to control the blackspot.. it worked pretty good! :)
Here's Gingersnap only 'cuz I love Gingersnap. :)
