Your about a month ahead of us in Nebraska.

I save my gallon milk jugs and cut the bottoms out and put them over my plants to prevent frost damage till all danger of frost is over.

It like a small green house.

Hey bama-girl. Hope ole Jack Frost doesn't cause you to have to do the planting twice. :(

As I understand it there is a airborne fungus that comes to our part of the country from up out of the south riding the air currents that does indeed kill our tomato plants. :twisted:

What fungicides (name brand will be O.K.) do you use to protect your tomato plant down there in "Sweet Home Alabama?" I might want to give them a try. :D

actually, i don't use anything, i never have. the only trouble i have had with fungus is black spot on roses. not even sure that's a fungus really :?

one year, all the blossoms fell off the tomatoes for no apparent reason and i sprayed something on them but i can't remember what it was :?
i try not to use anything because the kids are bad about just standing out there eating the cherry tomatoes off the vine.....no telling how many little bugs they've ingested :lol:

what's the name of the fungus and i'll ask around? i know that this old guy that we buy hay from has had trouble with his a few times but he lives in the swamp pretty much. i'll ask him and see what he says.....fair warning though, he has an answer for everything :P

I never had a problem with any fungus, but the deer seem to take great pleasure in ruining mine. They don't like them. They talk a bite out of everyone and then just leave them hang.

We have a good six weeks before planting flowers or tomato plants here.

Does Athletes foot count? If so, I was an expert in 7th grade.
