It looks healthy enough when you stand way back, but I'm seeing more spots, yellowed leaves, and so on. I quit treating with antifungal around mid-July and I wonder if I stopped too soon. I resumed last Sunday when I noticed some of this stuff, and I've pruned quite a bit but so far to no avail.
Even my Sweet Italian Basil has taken a hit.
I've grown too attached, I'm sure, to these plants, most of which now tower over me. And my fears of having more tomatoes than I could possibly use are giving away to the realization that I need to put out even more tomato plants next year. I envisioned a year's supply of canned tomatoes for chili, soups, stews, salsa, chutney and so on, and so far my own consumption and giving away a few has kept up with the ripening crop.
There's still a lot of fruit out there, green on the vines, but blossoms promising even more are pretty scarce.
There are blossoms on the mystery/mutant plant that was supposed to be a Tigarella. It was late putting on any fruit, so maybe it'll be a late producer all the way through to the frost.
