What do you do


When late blight takes out your tomatoes and potatoes?

You make fried green tomatoes and baked potatoes. Lots of them. Found a recipe for the former that involves baking rather than actual frying. Yum.

    Chenango County is suing Lowes, Walmart and another who I forget for knowingly bringing in the blight.

    Have to have that recipe, we didn't get the blight on the potatoes we did get it on the tomatoes but I might be able to save some before it takes it all.

    The blight is too depressing for words. I did save some of my unaffected green tomatoes. I hadn't heard about the Chenango County lawsuit. I haven't heard too much about blight here in Oswego Co. but I'm sure I'm not alone. I guess I'll try starting mine from seeds next year.My loosing my tiny little crop is sad but I hope it's not another nail in the coffin of the local farmers.

    I hope you guys are OK. The storms look bad on radar but are staying south of us - for now.

    The Wife, the oven recipe is easy and they were pretty good. I think with some olive oil they would be even better.

    WR, I hadn't heard that, but dang, this blight is an awful mess

    Lisa, we liked pretty well

    Ericka, it had been pretty cruddy. I keep trying to find good stuff to write about so folks want to come visit, but it takes a real effort. Thanks for your kind words...

    Apple, the blight is just nasty. I grew mine from seed, but the darned stuff blows fifteen miles or more on the wind, so we got nailed anyhow. Sorry about your lovely garden.

    Linda, you got that right! I grew all mine from seed but I read today that the darned fungus can blow forty miles on the wind so it didn't do me any good at all.
