BULLETIN: Wondering when the field tomatoes will finally show up? Apparently I have been missing the stories in the NY Times and elsewhere about the Late Blight which has resulted from June's extensive rain. It is the same disease which caused the Irish potato famine and is very serious. It is spread by standing water and any attempts to wash it off just spread it. There is no known cure, but it can be managed. Conventional farmers can use sprays to contain it, but organic farmers have few solutions available. One possibility is to spray it with a copper solution, but that is difficult and time consuming.
