Wow! No wonder I suck at growing tomatoes.. I get BLIGHT and leaf spot EVERY year. This year I'm trying a 6 ft tall string support to get them more off the ground. I also am going to try the peroxide spray..wish me luck! Thank you young lady.
@@Dennis-vr1ri So far so good! I have my first tomatoes on the glaciers I started in March from seed. also early girl, Rutgers, romas all have fruit. When I cut the grass I add the clippings under the base. I also use soda bottles stuck in the ground for watering. So far no blight which is a record for me...BUT...You never know.. Zoinks
@@lobstermania4025 That's great! I used peroxide last year along with other treatments with little luck if any. Early on the plants did fine ,I thought I was on to something but it turned into the same challenges as before. This year I've increased the ratio of peroxide along with some other experiments hopefully I'll have some luck this year....one thing I'm sure of so far the peroxide isn't enough to solve the problems with blight. Wishing you the best of luck🍅
@@Dennis-vr1ri Hey Dennis. I just got in from pruning up my tomatoes in the garden. I have 28 plants and today I just made sure they were pruned 1 ft off the ground and cut off suckers. They all look good thus far, its early yet but I feel really good about them.. In another bed I have romas which I have sprayed once with dexicon. ( I'm skipping the peroxide) I'll keep in touch as the season goes on . Happy Gardening!
I'm located in Eastern North and the first year of this airborne blight on my tomatoes. After confirming it as Septoria I'm removing most of the affected leaf branches and will spray treat with a copper fungicide , as soon as the wind dies down.
Eventually.... someone that makes tomato farming what it is, fun and adventurous. Thank you..... hadn't realised the leaf spot me monster was the reason I lost some of my precious seedlings....😥😥
I think some of my younger tomato plants have septoria and they have not even started to produce any fruit. (Well the fruits are still tiny). I assume the best would be to bin the plants? Thankful for answers :)
With a positive ID of septoria, remove all the affected leaves promptly & you should be able to harvest another 3-5 weeks of fruit! here's our blog that dives into WAY more detail! heart, p
I believe I have early blight. This is devastating news because my tomato plants have just really started to grow out. I’ve been treating it for the past week or so. So, I’m just going to wait for the last harvest before totally removing the plant I’m also going to barricade it from the rest of the plants. Sad news :(
how does one hot water treat seeds for early blight? btw one fellow recommends NaHCO3 solution (one oz of bicarb & one of veg. oil in a gallon of water) as a treatment for early blight - does his work? claiming that bicarb is basic & the high pH kills the blight fungus? i have seeds creating san marzano with Juliettes and i don't want to trash them; they have the best qualities of both. i also think i might have gotten the blight from the seed seller to begin with. so ... should i be able to kill the seed blight in a basic solution - say Ammonia? thx!!!
It looks like your tomatoes are covered in Diseases... You said bag the diseases leaves and plants and ship them off... Where do I ship them to? Do you have the address?
The spores don't survive the winter, so don't worry about it, just get all the plant tissue you can and thank you SO much for being so conscientious :)
They're fine to eat, as in they won't hurt you, they just are increasingly less delicious as the plant struggles more and more --- the below comment is not at all my experience, though we all have our unique and true truths :) Thanks for asking!
Space the plants out... I plant 4 feet between plants and 5 feet between Rows... The plants need to have air space to help them dry out in the morning... As you see all her plants are Diseased... She has planted a wall of tomatoes down her row... Now way for good air flow... That's her main problem... If she fixes that she to can grow tomatoes... I've been growing 1000's of tomatoes for 50+ years...
A close up view of each of these diseases would really be beneficial to this video.
Your videos are so informative and easy to consume. One of the best gardening channels I’ve stumbled upon. You’ve helped my garden already!
Very nice and informative video.
Holy cow, the stakes! Hadn't thought of that. Thanks! I've got early and the septorium (?) on my potted tomatoes.
Wow! No wonder I suck at growing tomatoes.. I get BLIGHT and leaf spot EVERY year. This year I'm trying a 6 ft tall string support to get them more off the ground. I also am going to try the peroxide spray..wish me luck! Thank you young lady.
Cheers to a season with too many tomatoes (if that's even possible!) Don't hesitate to reach out anytime :)
How ya doing now?

Great video!! Can i can tomato with early blight, but not can tomatoes with late blight?

, as soon as the wind dies down.
Very good information.
Thank you. Loved your video, if not the possibilities it illuminates.
Great video but still not sure which blight we have got. Can you help identify which ? Appreciate some help ! How to send photos ? Thanks
Really useful and informative. Thank you.
Thank you so much but what about black spots on the steam of the tomatoe plants and also how dose this happen how can we prevent it

You have a wonderful way
Excellent video! I didn't know early blight was IN the seed.
I'm in the SW but I think your advice works for me.
It's more than possible! I have many friends growing many of our seeds, is the marvelously ironic truth. Keep in touch & don't be shy!
all consuming plant destroyer sounds like a comic book villain
lol! indeed!

What do I do with the soil that seems to have blight stuck to it
The spores don't survive the winter, so don't worry about it, just get all the plant tissue you can and thank you SO much for being so conscientious :)
Ship the diseased plants to people you don't like.
lol!
Can you eat tomatoes if the plant gets blight wile fruiting?
If you eat them they will give you a bad case of diarrhea but it will only last a day or two...
They're fine to eat, as in they won't hurt you, they just are increasingly less delicious as the plant struggles more and more --- the below comment is not at all my experience, though we all have our unique and true truths :) Thanks for asking!
for more information
2nd year of diseased toms for me here and I now think I used the same stakes as last year. Face palm.
Where can we find your email if we want a diagnosis?
Thank you

It is best not to grow tomatoes at all when there are diseases without cure.
Sounds like doomsday.
What are your most effective ways to prevent these diseases?

Hydrogen peroxide!
@@cyhomer hello cathy, what mixture ratio do you use?
@@Dennis-vr1ri
I saw on other videos 6 and 8 ounces per gallon of water. Also said to spot test.
@@randydeskins9359 thanks appreciate it & have a blessed day
