Our tomatoes have the blight *again*! We got new dirt for our potted toms, and washed out the pots, but we didn’t use bleach or any other disinfectant, and I guess that was our mistake. Our beautiful tomatoes are infected again. We have two plants that are potted in entirely new pots, so we’re hoping that they don’t have it. But it could have jumped.
I was already getting excited for our 200-plus tomatoes and all of the meal planning and recipe research, and then, disappointment.
We are trying to chalk it up to learning, but when the grocery store tomatoes and even the farmers market tomatoes leave much to be desired, we are once again…..sad tomatoes.

I am so sorry about your blight. I have a few tomatoes. So far, so good, but you never know. This morning I had to pull my zicchini plant, you know the one that grows so many squash gardeners have a hard time giving it all away. Anyway, I think it had some kind of wilt. The inside stem of the plant was not a pretty sight. So I’m feeling a fairly inept gardener, here.
I do so wish you good luck with the rest of those tomatoes! They are the reason most of us garden. But I am learning that gardenign is challenging and sometimes can be downright painful.
