Just heard an NPR story about tomato blight from Bonnie plants. Three

10 feet away that is growing very well and producing fruit.

I heard the same report. I only have two tomato plants, both from Bonnie,
but so far neither looks to have any problems other than the already-large
fruits are taking _far_ too long to ripen. I'd guess that a company as
large as Bonnie has at least a few dispersed growing facilities so having
the infection at all of them seems unlikely. What area are you in?



In the Secret City.


In the WWII secret city or is it even more secret than that?
