Good morning!
I'm hoping to get some help from y'all; I've got heirloom Principe
Borghese tomatoes planted, and this year I've also got some sort of
fungus?, blight?, something-or-other that is taking them faster than
they can grow. And...since they're indeterminates, I'd hoped to summer
them over for a second crop in the fall. Doesn't look like that will be
happening either.
The symptoms are typical - the leaves wither and turn yellow-y brown,
starting at the bottom of the plant and working up. The fruits are
unharmed, but no new blossoms are appearing. Our weather is staying in
the low 90's, and they will set fruit in fairly warm weather, so "no
blooms" worries me too.
We are sustainable, and the tomato trellises are one fence away from the
chicken yard. Any suggestions on a sustainable solution that would stop,
or at least slow down the disease progression?
Thanks,
Juanita Garcia
