Just about the time my tomatoes are at their peak the blight begins. In the end it always wins... What kind of blight are affecting your tomatoes?? Maybe I can help. 🍅 Tomato blight is a fungus. Either it is the early blight or the late blight. If it's the early blight you just pull them up and replant, if it's the late bright then you buy a fungicide to spray on the tomatoes. In both cases they start dying from the bottom up. You must remove these leaves in hopes of it not spreading but, like I said it always wins. Sorry about taking your space....again it wouldn't give me a typing pane.

Well Lacey. Sounds to me what you have is what we call around here blossom rot. The old timers (which I am one now guess it's my turn) told us to put eggshells in your garden especially where you plant the tomatoes. They said it's a calcium deficiency in the soil that can lead to it. I had it here and it worked. We don't spray our veggies or anything round this farm with chemicals. Try it if you want. Can't hurt none. 😎

Can't hurt none. 😎 I always thought blossom rot was the tomato itself rotting on the blossom end. This is the plant dying, the leaves first, from the bottom up. Even when the plant is totally dead the tomatoes look fine, but I won't eat them. I will try the egg shells. My Mom always put all her coffee grounds and egg shells in the garden.

When would you plant marigolds or petunias indoors I don't plant petunias, but I'll see if I can find a guide on when to start seeds for you.

That looks like a blight not blossom end rot. www.planetnatural.com/pest-problem-solver/plant-disease/early-blight/homeguides.sfgate.com/natural-remedies-tomato-blight-powdery-mildew-43797.html

I would have never have thought of that.

Hi I used to have a garden, but just could not keep up with all those weeds. I had a nice big patch of rhubarb in the back corner. When I finally decided not to plant any more I moved the rhubarb over by the fence so it wouldn't be out in the middle of the back yard. I didn't eat that much rhubarb, except for using it to make rhubarb & strawberry freezer jam. Next thing I know there was no rhubarb any more, and it had always came in by itself. I guess the guy that does my lawn got tired of mowing around it and just mowed it down a few times.
Rhubarb and Asparagus always replanted itself.

Sometimes soil needs couple nutrients so plants can grow right. think one is bit of epsom salts. we'e depleted soils since 60s.

I always dig in some composted manure to my veggie beds before I plant in the spring. And I have two compost bins going as well. Sometimes my flower beds get the compost, sometimes the veggie beds.
