Hi,
Wondering if anyone has had any issues with veggies this summer. My tomato plants did really poorly. They all died - which has never happened to me.
I thought I read about a blight with Bonnie plants. Does anyone have any information on this for me?

The New York Times did have an article on July 17th. You can see it here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/nyregion/18tomatoes.html
A google search for tomato blight will turn up lots of information (you can add control, organic, fungicide, etc for more specific info)

Hi Penny
Is this based on the type of product? Or all veggies? I purchased Bonnie plants. Daisy

Hi there,
I grew alot of my own plants from seed, and they started out well, but here in Ontario, we've had such a terrible summer that alot of stuff died, simply because it was too wet and too cold, i've been pretty lucky with not having blight, some things looked like they might have started to get it, but i nipped it in the bud, but i know of others who have lost every single tomato plant they put in.

My Rutgers tomatoes all did basically well. They are nice and red, but they are not as flavorful as usual. I grew them from saved seed. I also tried TripLCrop tomatoes. Ugh! The tomatoes are not reddening up, are rotting as I try to wait for them to ripen..... I will not plant them again. I think the cooler, wetter weather that many of us experienced in the spring is to blame for some of these issues.
