To my gardening friends

There's been alot in the news about tomato late blight fungus. If you are growing tomatoes this year you need to look out for it. If you get it on your tomatoes you can't toss the plants into your compost bin as that will just give the fungus somewhere to grow over the winter. Bag and toss all affected plants and any tomatoes that show any signs.

I'm gonna have to buy shipped tomatoes this year if I want to have any salsa for the year:-(

Thanks for the warning. Thus far, I'm guessing I won't get any tomatoes. The few fruit I have are obstinately green. I will watch for that though, since I'd have certainly pitched any refuse from them onto my compost.
