Tomatoes--the take down


All the roma tomato plants were taken down. I have collected all those which still green but healthy looking with the hope that they'll eventually turn green...or else we'll start looking for green tomato recipe. Unfortunately, after a week or so, all the green healthy looking tomatoes have turned blight anyway. We have to throw away at least half of all the grown tomatoes from our four roma plants. They looked so promising on the vine but they still ended up in the dumpster. It is depressing.

Some info about blight:

They SO will turn for you. Don't worry. Mine turned all at once. Be careful if you don't want that. The gas they give off when ripening will ripen others. It's cool to watch!

Good luck!
