I've been having trouble with Late Blight for several years, but usually
manage to get a crop anyway

I had a heavy attack of late blight, encouraged by a cold wet summer here
in upstate NY. Got enough tomatos for salad, but not for canning. I got a
few "Silvery Fir Tree" fruits to preserve my seed supply at least.... I'm
going to give the seeds a quick dilute Clorox bath after their usual
fermenting/cleaning.
All my plants are started from seed, but there are apparently enough spores
about, despite my rural location, to infect everything in a year like this.
I'm looking for suitable treatment for next year, with the emphasis on
things that are proven to work. Organic preferred, but....
