Fungus Among Us


Tomatoes

My garden is doing pretty well -- except for my beloved tomatoes. They seem to be suffering from Fusarium, a fungus that causes them to turn brown and wilt from the bottom up. They're still hanging in there, with a pretty promising crop of green tomatoes dangling from their branches. I just hope they can make it to harvest.

From what I've read about the fungus, I'll need to replace the soil in order to completely eradicate it. Looks like we'll be doing raised beds next summer.
