[AT] Tomatoes

[Bob McNitt]

  Bruce, much of NYS got nailed with tomato blight this year, which made 
two years in a row. Even tho I moved all my plants to new ground, they 
still got hit. We ate lots of fried green tomatoes this year.

The organic farmers in WNY seem to have been affected by the blight, most garden types around me had a few early&  then none are ripening.  Several years ago I planted 3,500 tomato plants&  we had a late, wet season, so days before frost warnings we went out&  picked larger green tomatoes, wrapped them in news paper individually, spaced them on shelves in a cool shed.  They did ripen with a minimum of rot (if they are clear when picked).  It was a bit labor intensive, but kept us in the market for weeks after we thought we were done.
