Glad to know that the supposedly new fruit fly control method doesn't work any better than the old ones -- I avoided buying it because I am a cynic. I've gone with the barrier method from greenharvest, and if my tomatoes don't succumb to the same blight as yours I will report on the results.Chookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07230973711859964063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-10679016688262056782009-01-07T02:27:00.000+11:002009-01-07T02:27:00.000+11:00I've always found that the bigger the tomato varie...I've always found that the bigger the tomato variety, the harder it is to grow!

It looks more like rust but then I'm no expert.

Have never seen Grosse Lisse so poor.<BR/><BR/>But the odd thing is that my Romas are 100% good and vigourous - here was me thinking they must be naturally immune to whatever it is - until I read your post.<BR/><BR/>The corn is doing weird things in both gardens too, with corn kernals at the tops of the plants mixed with the pollen anthers. Then I read on a blog that someone else was having this happen too.<BR/><BR/>Linda<BR/>http://chloesgarden.blogspot.com/Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06205010291496207355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-44470409662833456552009-01-06T18:05:00.000+11:002009-01-06T18:05:00.000+11:00The amazing thing with tomatoes is that my cherry ...The amazing thing with tomatoes is that my cherry tomatoes always crop beautifully and never have any problems. This is my first total crop failure with the 'big' tomatoes, but the little cherries seem to be immune to all the pests and diseases which visit their bigger cousins.<BR/><BR/>Hey, maybe I got attacked by all 33 diseases!Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14653345793213312242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-57417992972318065742009-01-06T17:48:00.000+11:002009-01-06T17:48:00.000+11:00Wow, hard to believe they went so quickly.

Reading that made me wonder who in their right mind would want to grow tomatoes?! The website for Univ. Calif. IPM for tomatoes lists 33 diseases that attack tomatoes, and then there's the insects.... But, we keep trying! Glad the rest of the garden is faring well.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07812702328134261533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7797396120087729156.post-87933059266200586552009-01-06T14:11:00.000+11:002009-01-06T14:11:00.000+11:00Hi Jamieso sorry to read about the tomato crop fai...Hi Jamie<BR/><BR/>so sorry to read about the tomato crop failure. Wonder what is getting the plants at the moment. A couple of mine as starting to look a little suss, but fingers and toes crossed.<BR/><BR/>All the best for the rest of the plants!<BR/><BR/>PruePJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12210701278846436069noreply@blogger.com
