Hi Again.
I forgot to note that microclimate also has an effect. Tomato plants =
on a site with early sun and good passive air circulation are less =
vulnerable than the converse. Probably because the plant surfaces dry =
earlier in the day.
I had never heard of late blight until our morning skyline became =
blocked by houses and then by trees that eventually joined canopies such =
that the garden saw full sun for only a few afternoon hours. During this =
period, open skyline to nearly closed, we went from huge crops of tasty =
tomatoes through years of declining crops and declining flavor, then =
poor pollination even when flowers were shaken and finally severe blight =
in some years.
Yt, Dave Webster, Kentville
