Anyway, you were completely right. that was not a carrot. lol! I am gardentarded! I just assumed it was because it grew up where I planted the carrot seeds, but, now, it was just a weed. I have tossed out the blighted tomatoes. I have a ton of other tomato plants, so no big loss. Interesting that all the blighted ones came from the same seed packet, but none of the other tomatoes were affected (so far, fingers crossed).<br /><br />NicoleNikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15220435677230258165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151510507709820575.post-19112473945033600872012-05-25T08:52:51.408-07:002012-05-25T08:52:51.408-07:00Typo: Should be 'I' would toss... :-)Typo: Should be 'I' would toss... :-)~~Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725631021405054667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151510507709820575.post-59051292298242400132012-05-25T08:49:36.848-07:002012-05-25T08:49:36.848-07:00Hi Nikki,

It tends to come with damp spring weather.<br /><br />I really don't think that's a carrot. <br /><br />If would toss that one tomato plant if you think it's blight to avoid infecting the others. Or, could have been from bad (disease carrying seed).<br /><br />The more you restore your yard to natural conditions (i.e. how it was before housing developments were built), the better balance will be restored amongst the plants/insects/etc. and problems tend to lessen.~~Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725631021405054667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-151510507709820575.post-16390036512875763252012-05-21T17:17:02.338-07:002012-05-21T17:17:02.338-07:00Hi Melissa - thanks for responding.
