I sprayed yesterday (predictions were very low for the rain) and as I just finished it started raining. And it rained today as well.

Not all, it is humid and warm. That spray may help with mold prevention. Under the leafs is still covered with soap and DE somewhat.

Thank you, Marsha.

This was real taste test.
Sara black was the best tasting/sweetest out of the group of 12 tomatoes.
