I also faced problems regarding hairloom tomatoes in 2009. It was lateblight. This year The tomato plants are looking great, Let’s hope for the best.

Welcome, Leslie. Yes, hah, some year for the experiment on both our parts (in “hydroponic” tomatoes here, in other tortures there). So sorry. But we gardeners, we just try again next year, don’t we? :) See you soon!

I’m in PNW too, near Mt. Rainier – this was my “heirloom tomato experiment” year – hah. Even getting them started indoors in Feb. only a couple varieties have set fruit, and no telling yet if some of that will ripen enough to get tomatoes and seeds for next year. Even the Early Girls have not made a good showing and they have BER to boot. Oh well. The beans and zukes are going great…will just buy fresh from the farmer’s market and canned for winter this year.
