Retired from central valley of CA. Assume it is too late now to grow winter vegetables, from your article. Have a large 2-shelf kitchen garden window. Is it too late to grow anything there also?lheaslethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262525517344008476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607889246855444175.post-36944709005198392852011-02-07T21:46:33.283-08:002011-02-07T21:46:33.283-08:00So many coldframes, incredible!

I have also tried Legend, which is blight-resistant too, but I have never found it to crop well.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607889246855444175.post-4751424210239154882010-12-12T10:54:36.615-08:002010-12-12T10:54:36.615-08:00Hi Mark, we can have blight here in Oregon, but si...Hi Mark, we can have blight here in Oregon, but since we tend to have dry summers and early fall when they are ripening, it's not as much a problem as in other parts of the country with humid summers. Mostly here it comes down to proper watering technique (keep foliage dry, water in am) and spacing for adequate ventilation. I generally do a pretty thorough pruning and tie the vines up to get the best air circulation. Look for blight-resistant varieties if possible-- here's a blog that may help. http://www.waldeneffect.org/blog/Blight_resistant_tomato_varieties/Oregon Coast Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975691847015067880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7607889246855444175.post-77060855979039828582010-12-12T10:34:45.513-08:002010-12-12T10:34:45.513-08:00I wish I owned that tomato-house.

Here in the UK we get a bad dose of blight about 2 years in every 3, and growing tomatoes outdoors is really chancy.Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.com
