| Looks like Tennessee is going to get walloped with rain this year and we of southern piedmont into SC will also get the extra moisture and extra heat/humidity. What that tells me is in my area(Charlotte metro) we are going to experience more high ozone days, fungus growth and sunscald. That for better plant growth it might be worth going to slightly raised beds and no mulching or just loose layer of last year's leaves. It just takes up so much room in a small garden. Are there any tomato varieties with better resistance to ozone (smog/pollution)? |

| If ozone is on your list of problems for growing tomatoes, you must have some really fine plants. I'll be focusing on moisture, temprature, blight, sunlight, spacing, support, insects, deer, birds and squirrels. If I can master all that this year, I'll brainstorm ways to beat ozone with you next year. |
