Banish Tomato Blight
Garden Furniture Scorecard
Remember the spike in the price of tomatoes last summer? You were most likely paying for late blight, a plant disease that wiped out tomato crops across the Northeast.

If your own garden suffered the same fate, learn how to protect your plants this season with advice from researchers at Cornell University.

One of the best things you can do is buy healthy plants. Don't purchase ones with dark brown lesions on stems and leaves, or those with white fungus-like growth. Check out these photos of blight-infected tomatoes, so you'll know it when you see it. Also avoid overhead watering because the pathogen thrives in wet conditions.

Click here for more tips for spotting and managing late blight—and here's to a better tomato year!
