Blight in the house?

I queried the local extension office again about my tomato problem, and here was their response:

I’m sorry I don’t know what other tomato questions you may have had or what information you may have received, but I am including a link to a general information sheet about tomatoes.  It appears that you may have a fungal disease on your tomato plant.  The best defense against tomato fungus is choosing a disease resistant variety however most heirloom tomatoes are susceptible.  Page 4 of this handout at the above link lists fungicides that can control fungi on tomatoes.

Good luck and I hope this is helpful!

Is this early blight, perhaps?  I dunno but it doesn’t sound good.

New additions to heal our grieving hearts

Almost forgot – since the loss of the zucchini freed up some space, we decided to see if there was anything decent left out there for purchase.  Lowe’s came through (thanks Bing for the tip) – we picked up a bell pepper plant, a cucumber plant, and some more basil.  The pepper plant is in the zucchini spot (with room for friends if we find some) and I put the cuke and basil in containers.

Speaking of basil, I’ve got a post brewing to gripe about the lifecycle of my herb garden this year.
