Wife, I"m the only garden within half a mile or more, and lost ALL my tomatoes last year, all grown from seed, nothing brought in from the outside at all. The air and traffic brought it to me..

Lesa, I think I am still going to be ok...my neighbors can barely grow grass let alone tomatoes!

Hi wifezilla !

Quote from another Rodale article on tomato blight It explains how a lot of us probably lost our entire tomato crops last year. It still makes me weep as I grew over 50 heirloom plants from seed & they looked wonderfully healthy & were thriving: one week later they all had to be ripped out.........

*** "When it rains, the precipitation scrubs the spores from the sky and they fall back to gardens and fields, where they sicken other tomato and potato plants. "

***from http://www.rodale.com/tomato-plant-problems-slideshow?page=0,2

So sorry wifezilla you are NOT necessarily SAFE from the dreaded BLIGHT But I wish you a great harvest & no blight in your life, or on your tomatoes.......

ugggg....

Ok. So I will watch my maters closely. We have a week of no rain forecast so hopefully that will help

I already treated some of my squash and 2 tomato plants. 1 of those tomatoes does not look well... I already have downy mildew on my cantelope!

And it begins again!
