I hear legend isn't all that great for resistance to blight, new strains evolve, lots of chemicals is the only solution to blight I have found, it really sucks! Even with chemicals, if it rains, you're screwed. Otherwise, train and trim tomato vine so that it is open to sun and drying winds. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arn3lF5XSUg http://www.thirdworldtraveler.com/Zinn/HZinn_page.html |
