Zone 7 near Annapolis Maryland.

I may have some tomato success this year. Planting in same bed (8 hrs sun). Prior years the “blight” got them at late August and they grew very lanky/spindly. BUT got some “Copper Mixture” (I think it is also called Bordeaux Mixture) and put it on every 10 days to soil around the plants to inhibit fungus. They are now strong & healthy foot tall with many leaves and stem 3/8” to 1/2” wide. Started from seed late Feb... in garden 1st week of April (we had a mild spring... covered them 2-3 nites with no loss)
