late blight in 2010? - Page 2

Carolyn, I didn't take your comments and post them here. I would never be so rude as to do that without crediting my source. I was already looking up some information on late blight and potatoes for someone on another forum, so I posted the URLs here, too.

I mean, seriously, Cornell rocks! I participate in their Citizen Scientist programs with my mother and my nephew, and in their Vegetable Varieties program. I go spelunking on their web site all the time.

Not a problem at all. it just seemed coincidental to me that they were the same three links I used in that new thread.

And I had all three in my faves anyway b'c I've posted them here and there, but picked up the newest one on the July 29th update from Mark at GW.

Ja, I know Cornell rocks, I'm a graduate of same.

the volunteer potatoes look like the foilage of all blue, i say that cuz all blue has leaves that are more narrow and are darker than the other varieties i have grown. i had no late blight last year and the potato plants show no late blight so i doubt my LB on the tomatoes are from these volunteer plants.

yesterday was hot and dry but humid. today it's raining so the LB may be much worse than a couple of days ago. the forecast is for dry saturday and monday but the other 5 days have rain. i doubt there's enough sun/dry weather to get the infected plants to ripen the tomatoes that are getting close. if they start to color i can take them inside, however, if the plant has LB i wonder if the fruit will rot inside even if it looks fine when picked? guess i'll find out.
