No Big Box tomatos this year

After last year's late blight fiasco I've sworn off buying plants from the Big Box stores, I'm doing everything from seed. A word of warning: The blight came in from Big Box plants last summer, but the spores can spread 30 miles a day, so starting your own didn't help much. Usually, late blight spreads from the south where it can survive, but last year it got help from the aforementioned stores infected stock. I was it on plants offered at Home Despot, which I didn't buy. (most of the above from an NPR interview with Mike McGrath on Saturday. He called tomatoes a "Gateway Drug" to gardening. ) Gary Woods AKA K2AHC- PGP key on request, or at home.earthlink.net/~garygarlic Zone 5/6 in upstate New York, 1420' elevation. NY WO G |
