I'm going to give the seeds a quick dilute Clorox bath after their usual fermenting/cleaning. All my plants are started from seed, but there are apparently enough spores about, despite my rural location, to infect everything in a year like this. I'm looking for suitable treatment for next year, with the emphasis on things that are proven to work. Organic preferred, but....

NY WO G It was a banner year for tomatoes in Seattle because we had a relatively hot and dry summer. Naturally, I didn't bother with tomatoes because of my abject failures in previous years. Although I think the rains of this weekend are about to drown any chance of a good late-season crop. Right now it looks more like Ithaca rain than Seattle rain. Cindy -- C.J. Fuller Delete the obvious to email me Had a good year in So-Cal. Planted tomatoes with lots letters after the name. Not as tasty as previous years. I got tired of being hit with blight or whatever it is. The peppers are still going strong. Going to add more varieties next year. All in all a very good year. |
