Thank you for all that great info. We had to order the copper spray as it is not sold in Michigan - got it at Walmart.com.
It should be here in a couple of days. We will definitely follow your advice next year about cutting the lower branches off and mulching we can do all that when we plant next year. Would be kind of hard to do the mulching this year. Hubby has been getting rid of lower branches and anything spotted so far and there is far better air circulation through the plants, and easier to see all the nice green tomatoes we have.

I was just out watering; SUPPOSEDLY I have a chance for rain at 5pm and 11pm, but with this heat and the wind (thank goodness for that for ME!) things have been drying out fast. I fertilized everything in a pot from cherry tomatoes to hanging baskets to my Beneficial Bug Mix pot. Everything is looking great, save for a little blossom end rot on my Zukes, but nothing short of a nuke stops those suckers. ;)

Having some iced tea now, then on to do dog/mule/steer/raccoon chores before the rain hits around 5pm. (Hope Springs Eternal!)
