Good Morning Gardeners!
Someone taking a journey? I insist on photographs, lots and lots of them. I'm never leaving my homestead so need to travel vicariously. Seriously though I would love to follow your journey.
eP strange to us now some of the stuff we used to buy as kiddies. Talk about tobacco I clearly remember the big bubblegum cigars and sugar candy ciggies. Those cigars cost a nickle and would last the day.
It is a lovely cool morning here a pleasant relief from the hot and muggy!
Have a great day all!!
TTFN

Eeeuuwwwww...proper nasty!

...Looks like Corn Smut Ginge!

This disease is easy to find in the garden. Large, fleshy, brownish galls (swellings) containing a black sooty mass of spores develop on leaves, stems, ears or tassels. Young immature galls are white or grayish white. A fungus, Ustilago maydis, causes this disease which occurs throughout the Southeast, especially when temperatures are high (79 to 100º F) and moisture is abundant.

Prevention & Treatment: Pick off and destroy infected ears and galls while they are immature and have not yet released spores. Remove galls carefully, since spores can readily blow to nearby plants, causing more disease. Corn smut overwinters on plant debris in the soil, so do not put infected crop residues back into the soil. The most susceptible plants are those grown in soils high in nitrogen. No chemical controls are available.
