3. About blight...

are you sure it is late blight? That is a pretty tough one - will do a separate post on it some day. It needs living tissue, and originates in infected potatoes. If spores get onto foliage and the foliage gets wet prior to any spray, it is too late. But late blight takes down plants fast - early blight is more typical (and ubiquitous) - that is what bothers me most.

Peach tomatoes are pretty cool - they are actually one of the oldest tomatoes, documented in seed catalogs back to the 1860s.

We are taking bells and paprika peppers once they go red (or orange or whatever ripe color they become) - slice thin, deydrate and grind into our own paprika - it is amazing!
