I just read that you guys in the east are going to have a bad time with
tomatoes this year due to a blight which is hitting the plants, both the
commercial and private growers. So you may be stuck with lousy tomatoes
for this year. Too bad, because we went through that a few years ago,
and never did get decent priced fruit for the rest of that year. I had 6
plants on the roof of the building that year, which is over 100 ft up,
and we got nothing at all. I companion plant with marigolds, so we had
lots of flowers but no maters!
