| Deer chewed mine down to a nubbin when I left my garden gate open... anyone have an extra plant to trade? I only have room for one plant, but I've got 3 Indigo Rose plants I could swap for it. Not too much tomato action on the exchange forum these days... thought I'd see if anyone here might be able to help me out. Thanks! |

| I wish I could help. My 2 plants look to have black spot or blight from all the rain. this is my first year growing them and I was so looking forward to them. Started fungicide treatment. Pulled them out of the main garden too. They were in pots. all my other tomatoes look fine for now. This rain has killed me... |

| lisound, I'm over in Ridgefield. My plants appear to have weathered the storms(s), just not the deer. I planted my tomatoes just before the monsoons started, and in the midst of their transplant shock I think they may have actually enjoyed the extra water. Based on some advice from Carolyn137 years ago, I mulch my tomatoes heavily to prevent soil from splashing and infecting leaves (best gardening advice I have ever received) so I think I've dodged that bullet as well as the cold and damp weather. Here's hoping, anyway! Hope you get a reasonable crop of something, if not Sweet Pea! |
