I agree, Arlene, I lost all but six of my 30 tomato plants (heirlooms) to early blight and leaf spot. WAY too cool and damp in June and July here on the Cape. I wondered if part of the problem was in herilooms themselves? Are they more susceptible to fungal diseases that some of the "engineered" hybrids? But then that wouldn't explain how heirlooms and OP toms have managed to survive down through the generations. . .
Anyway, among others that people have already listed I also love Mr. Stripey.
Just dying to get my lips wrapped around a REAL tomato!! Fun just to say the names.
