After so many rainy days and not much sunshine, the tomato plant from my kitchen garden["lasagne" or layered garden] is turning yellow green and coming down with something (see scanned leaves below). I can't diagnose it for sure....maybe leaf mold, bacterial spot or "target spot"? I am not anxious to be running out to purchase fungicide....maybe I can just pull it up and plant a marigold there....first I'll try removing all the spotted leaves. It has been so damp that the mushroom compost on top of the garden is now growing mushrooms, but of course I don't feel that they are safe to eat....

Today I read in our newspaper that a local bakery uses a recipe for a high protein bread developed by Cornell University in the 1930's.....that intrigued me.... searching the Internet, I quickly found the recipe....and other trivia!
I think this is interesting as it shows how people were encouraged to cope in other stressful times. Perhaps I will continue looking for the bread machine version of the Cornell bread recipe....or just get busy with a quilt! LOL!

I'm no help as to what's wrong with your tomato plant but I'm sorry that it isn't thriving. Here you are getting too much rain and we don't get any!
Oh no! I think you may be getting way to much rain. Has it been cool, too? I hope you had a nice afternoon!
Removing the dead leaves should help. Hopefully you'll be getting sun to help it dry out.
Guess what? My purple rose bush doesn't have any buds.
:-(
hopefully soon.
Love your tunics Lila
Don't give up on the plant, it could be too much water.
When I was growing up, it was a must that you clean your plate. I don't know how many times my Mother would say, "Eat" their are starving children in China.
Hugs, Mary
