This week was an overly busy week, and the time I was able to spend on plant patrol in the evening was limited. I’m battling blight on the tomatoes, and the blight is winning on a few plants.

I’ve been reading about ways to reduce blight and have some organic products on order that I’m hoping help me with my battle on the younger plants that have yet to show any symptoms. With my limited time this week, the blight spread on the older plants.

Yesterday evening I went out to do a bit of clean up and to remove the plants that were affected and beyond the point of repair, and noticed that on my highest producing cherry tomato, nearly every single leaf, and nearly half of every single tomato was gone. Missing. No sign of them. Seemed I was having issues with something other than just blight!
