I am not surprised as the blight spores are still around the garden and won’t be killed until freezing temperatures and there is no more live tissue to grow on.
Shhh…..I have a secret:
Yup, this is one of the tomato suckers that I rooted earlier in the season that has never been outside. It’s a leggy little ugly plant that is surviving with only 4-hours of sunshine through a window. I potted it up about a week ago. Do you think I will harvest at least one Super Marzano Tomato this season?
I'm so sorry. Maybe your little Super Marzano will bring a smile to your face...I certainly hope so.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm holding my breath for your Marzano (and I won't tell your secret ;-) ). Will you have any chance of sowing cool weather crops before it gets too cold?
ReplyDeleteDang, that's too bad! Oh, I really enjoy rooting those suckers...
ReplyDeleteAG: I am rooting for that little tomato to finish developing and ripen. I hope to never experience Late Blight again.
ReplyDeleteMomma_S: Thanks for keeping my secret ☺. I have peas and lettuce growing for fall crops. The spinach had trouble again, but there are about 3 pants struggling. Frost can hit any night now. But, I can cover these to try to extend their growth as long as I can.
EG: I never rooted suckers before this year. It’s quite easy and the plants seemed to catch up quickly (before the Late Blight killed them). This one was an extra that I didn’t have a place for in the garden. I kept it inside in a small pot and it hasn’t died yet.
