Beneficial Nematodes
I'm seeing a lot of articles on Beneficial Nematodes. They discuss use for Japanese Beetles, Codling Moth, grubs in general. When do you apply them? Do they survive winter in zone 5? When to reapply? What are the cons?

Rose sprouting
We winter our roses in pots in our garage. The garage is between 35-45 degrees. Because of the warmer weather(?) they have started sprouting. There is some light from a window in the garage. Would covering them with a black plastic stop the sprouting? Should we cut them back before covering them? I suppose we could bring them in the house in our sun room, but I don't know if the light is intense enough for hardy growth.

Pressure canning soups
Hi Expert,
The nchfp website gives the following instructions for pressure canning soups: "Combine solid ingredients with meat broth, tomatoes, or water to cover. Boil 5 minutes." https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/soups.html
My question is about the tomatoes. Do they mean tomato juice or actual tomatoes? Also, would I need to acidify this recipe or just follow the instructions as they are written?

Blight
I have been gardening for approx. 30 years. I live in the country in Dahlgren township. I am about to give up gardening because for the last 5 years the fun has been taken out of it! My garden is approx. 30 feet by 125 feet. The entire garden has blight. I know I am suppose to rotate but everything in my garden I believe has some sort of blight. I plant potatoes, egg plants, tomatoes, peppers and a few other things. So I don't see how I can rotate as they all have blight. I feel I have done extensive reading and still don't have any concrete answers? I feel I know about all the prevention things to do but is there anything I can treat the soil with before planting that would help? There are tons of articles out there to help reduce the problem after the garden is planted but can anything be done before the garden is planted? I know all about cleaning up last years plant remnants and making sure all contaminated remains are disposed of properly. Sorry it got so long! Any reply would be appreciated. Maybe I just have to use preventive measures after the plants have already become infected? Thanks, Steve
