RE: Tomatoes are Easy to Grow IMO
Our balcony is facing south, lots of sunshine. My boyfriend has tried with tomato plants for three years. This year unfortunately we lost them because of the blight. I sent him your post to read as it is very helpful
Thank you. There are a number of different blights and diseases that can affect tomato plants. I think mulch helps in my garden because some diseases can be splashed up from the ground when it rains. Others diseases/blights are caused by spores in the air. Try not to let the leaves get wet when you water and try to water in the morning. Also make sure you have good air circulation for your plants. If the bottom leaves turn brown or spotted break them off right away before it spreads. Good luck.
Thanks a lot. We've been told that the plants got that disease from the spores in the air. It happened very quickly. For two days tomatoes were dead. But we still got many herbs that are doing well.
