I had about 20 plants, some from Home Deptot,Lowes,and Walmart as well as some I raised from seeds. They grew well and were covered with fruit and blooms, and then the disease started. I have 3 left to pull today, what a shame. I'm sick over it. I'm worried about next year, is my soil now infected with it.

Boo yea

But wouldn't frost kill the blight before next year?
