How about the controls?

Roland --- Excellent question. I hope to post a more in-depth sumup of the current blight situation next week which will answer your question, so stay tuned.

I've been telling people about your unique idea for avoiding it. Me, I've just been pruning the dickens out of my plants. Here's a question--some of the branches with tomatoes on them have spots. Will it help if I cut those off and sacrifice a few tomatoes?

Brandy --- If you can stomach it, I'd remove the branch with spots. I made a mistake with my pruning ten days ago and just pruned the first bearer of the blight hard --- I should have taken the plant all the way out. This week, all of the surrounding plants had small signs of blight. 20/20 hindsight....

I took out one whole plant and a bunch more tomatoes, but it seems I may have reached the "run and hide" point. I think I'll plant just four tomatoes next year and pour myself into keeping them as happy as can be.
