Blight

Put in one tomato plant about a mounth ago, looks like the blight is in the soil this year again. I put down fungicide about two weeks ago but the plant is weathering bad.
What are you guys seeing.

what the heck is blight,

i planted one about two weeks ago and it seems fine so far

Have you checked with your county extension office? They should know best what's going on in your area. I called last year after we got infected with the "top down" or "curly leaf" disease. It turned out that a lot of the seedlings were infected with that along the east coast. The leaves curly up and the plant dies from the top down. Fruit will form but it never matures. It also will infect peppers. Once the virus is in the plant - usually as seedlings - there is no prevention or cure but it supposedly doesn't stay in the soil. This year I switched my garden location and brought the seedlings from a different source. So far so good. Good luck, Lisa

Blight got most of all my tomato plants last year. I actually thought they were doing good then it slowly but surely ruined everything. No tomatoes this year, going all leafy vegetables i think. 29 degrees saturday night and forecast 31 degrees for sunday night and monday night, i can't plant yet.

Blight??wasen't he some capt on a pirate ship--or was he English---blight my butt--we had frost last night,frost w/ 50 mph winds tonight & snow for tommorow night

This is what I have.

Hey, Lisa.. I don't know if its plant born or ground, seems like nobody knows foreshore do a google and see for yourself. Lots of Witch brews out there.

we had it last year---took some DAWN detergent mixed w/ water--sprayed them real good & they produced---do it when you first notice it--don't wait so you can take pictures --I know,I know it's not bugs---I just know it worked

at least your dog is slow--our 2 labs our apparently unteachable w/that skunk thing Already had one rhubarb pie---outstanding

Better than having little to no business. Seems that Dawn has a lot of uses, if your dog ever gets skunked its the best thing I ever found for getting the smell out. (slow learner of a dog)

Sounds good to me, Thanks

Fred, is there a specific mix of Dawn and watrer you use? I'd like to try it since our tomatoes all bit the dust last year.

Thanks, Will

yep.a sprayer bottle full of water & a good squeeze of dawn--shake it up & go for it---thems farm measurements
