Yeah, blight is likely with the rain -- I need to get some hay at the base of my maters. Supposedly that keeps the blight spores in the soil from splashing up on the plants.<br /><br />Carol, honey! 91?!?

The "wordless" in your title make me think of it. I enjoy his pieces about living in the country and so forth.<br /> Now, back to the garden. Our potatoes were flattened, but I think they'll be fine. Our only hope for tomatoes this year is the three heirlooms I ordered. The others from wherever myhusband got them in Knoxville (Wal-mart?) look pathetic. Is it too late to start some more? Probably. And blight will be likely, because of so much rain. I just took some photos of my Asian lily and a local turtle. Cute little guy. <br /> We just don't have room for corn.
