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.

jeez, this year has pretty much sucked rocks for y'all, hasn't it? i'm sorry.

i did not care for fried green tomatoes as a child, i wonder if i'd like them now. hmm.

twice baked potatoes are even better!

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.

Wal-mart needs to learn to buy local, where ever they beeee!

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.
