Weather was key this year and I had more than wife and I could handle
and I had to freeze several quarts for the first time in years. I also
fertilized a lot more than normal. I've probably played around growing
tomatoes for 50 summers and I learn something new every year.

have you ever had buckeye rot? if
so, did it rapidly spread to tomatoes
not in contact with the soil?

we've not had early blight hit us
yet over the years. we've had late
blight a few years and that doesn't
bother me much in comparison to what
happened this year with the buckeye
rot.

one thing for sure the weather will
keep on being variable. that is one
reason why i hate planting mostly one
variety. i get overruled and so it
goes...

cherry tomatoes have come along well
after the slow start.
