“A highly contagious fungus that destroys tomato plants has quickly spread to nearly every state in the Northeast and the mid-Atlantic, and the weather over the next week may determine whether the outbreak abates or whether tomato crops are ruined, according to federal and state agriculture officials.”–from article in New York Times
I have a few green tomatoes on my tomato plants. They don’t show any sign of fungus. But the plants themselves look very sad. I don’t think they got enough sun in June. Many of the leaves have turned yellow. The plants have been attacked by aphids. I sprayed some soapy water on the plants and the soil, but it doesn’t seem to have done much good, if any. And it looks as if an animal knocked over one of the plants last night, but the plant still seems OK.
