Small Victory in the Tomato Experiment

Late Blight TomatoesMaybe you’ve been following our tomato experiment. A couple of weeks ago we were rejoicing about beating the neighborhood critters. Well, now our plants have succumbed to the blight. Eh.

Our five remaining tomato plants still have tons of tomatoes on them, it’s just that we lose about 15 tomatoes for every 1 we harvest. These are some ugly tomatoes…

This past week we did declare a small victory, as we were able to save one nicely-sized, non-blighted tomato. We promptly put it to good use. There’s another one that should be ready for picking tomorrow. Not the bumper crop we expected about a month ago, but enough of a victory to plant again next year.
