Anyone ever have a "perfect" season?
I thought this would be the year...so close , yet so far away. Have any of you fellow home gardener's made it through a FULL season without ANY type of disease affecting your plants (not counting BER) ? I'm not complaining as my plants have bundles of tomatoes that are ripening up nicely, but I just noticed the onset of some type of disease on 4 of my plants. It actually looks like verticillium. We've had a cooler than normal summer.
I'm going to post pix to see what the experts think. My list of maters: Paul Robseson, CP, B'wine(Sudduth's), Persimmons, Goose Creek, Bisignano #2, Stupice, Sun Gold, and Martino's Roma. My B'wine is the only one that is very obviously affected ~the stems are browning and the leaves showing the typical yellowing, browning and shriveling. It's shares the same garden bed as the other varieties so I'm guessing this variety is one with a lower tolerance to V? |
