Part Two of My Organic Gardening Adventure - by Susan Tucker


After a slow start, the vegetables in the garden are starting to grow. The cilantro and mint are exploding, the lettuce lush and the green onion shooting up to the clouds. I think I'm on the road to success, then slowly a brown patch begins to take over the our sweet innocent green tomatoes. What is it? Tomato blight.

Thanks goodness for the nice, informative fellas at McGuckin. They directed me to a copper formula that seems pretty easy to use and will most certainly cure our problem. While there, I was sure to get some new, very cute, gardening gloves and pruning shears. I love McGuckin!

I'll deal with our blight issue, and in the meantime, I'll be sure to NOT overwater, and finally get to the weeding. For I am DETERMINED to upload photos of the luscious fruits of my labor come fall!
