dware:" Tobacco is also going strong, along with numerous varieties of tomato."

Please keep tools used with tomatoes different from the tools used for tobacco, or sterilize.
See disease known as 'tobacco mosiac virus'(TMV) for identification. Affects only tomatoes .
Since I have been a smoker , I wash tools and hands in diary milk which suppposedly renders the virus inert ( according to organic grower sources, ole-timey treatment).
I have used the milk bath on the hands in the past; better safe, than sorry !

Excellent! I've learned something new. Thank you! I've been reading up on TMV. Been working to stay safe and keep the tools and such separate. Had no clue bout the milk 'cure'.
