I pulled up 4 tomato plants tonight, 2 Brandywines, a Black from Tula, and a Wapsipinicon Peach Tomato.
Early Blight came very early, what with the rain and the cold.
I was really loooking forward to trying one of those Wapsipinicon Peach Tomatos, too.
I probably should have pulled up a yellow current tomato, but it has so many tomatoes starting to show color, I thought I'd try and limp it along.

Oh, it's about the blight. I thought from the header you were one of the prematurely celebrating froggies who had the smiles wiped off their faces in Singapore yesterday.
London 2012, bring it on. :-))

================== Did you try a preventive spraying program using chlorothalonil AKA Daconil? ===================
Nope, just a Pepe Le Pew fan.
Penelope, Le meow, le pant, le sigh...
We've had a bit of a wet summer, more days with rain than without lately. Sprays get washed off about as soon as they're sprayed on.
Penelope
You like le skunks madame? ;-)
I like le amorous cartoon skunks.
Penelope, less le real pew that way.
Greenhouse.......
Ah, I could have stewed tomatoes!
I appreciate that you're trying to help, but mostly I wanted to whine some to someone who wouldn't look at me strangely when I nattered on about things like blights and Brandywines.
Penelope
I am on my way out to pick all the mature tomatoes before they split. We had 3.5" of rain yesterday.
Wow, that's a lot! Was it Tropical Storm Cindy?
I hate to wish bad weather on anyone, but I'm really hoping Dennis stays west of South Carolina.
Penelope
Yes. I am in NC due north of Charlotte. I also hope Dennis stays west or just out of here.
Well according to the news right now (1:14 P.M.) it will be coming in on the border of Al. and Fla. panhandle.
Too dam close to me. I still haven't finished cleaning up after Ivan. Pan Ohco
We have had a very dry summer and it looks like we will get some o Dennis rain here in Arkansas. I don't want to see anyone have an damage but I sure do need the rain here. I have been having to water m gardens too much
