Karen,
As I posted earlier, with one treatment, all but about 35 of our 450 tomato
plants survived, and have recovered well. Of course the ones that had
already lost too much foliage didn't have a chance- the 35. We have done
another treatment along with picking off the effected leaves (discard
elsewhere, not in the garden, as the disease will stay in the ground), and
all are now doing nicely... well, except for being waterlogged. Our ground
hasn't dried out since the first of May- rain, rain and more rain... we just
got another 2-3 inches today with high winds.
I forgot that the copper fungicide is an organic product... but expensive!
We are in Kentucky, zone 6b.
Pete
