Anne I plan on trying that rootstock on some grafts this next season because it is supposed to be resistant to all 3 races of fusarium and to nematodes if I'm not mistaken.
The situation we have had this summer is probably only a once in a lifetime thing here. It just doesn't rain that much from early summer to fall down here. I have been gardening for about 40 years and the only time I have ever seen rain like this was in the winter or very early spring and it didn't persist like this has. I have raised beds and heavy rain is not usually much of a problem except sometimes between the beds; but this year the rain just has gone on so long it is almost like the plants are just saturated as if they were submerged in a bucket of water. They have forecast some drier weather ahead and I hope some of my plants will recover enough to provide me with some fall tomatoes even if the plants aren't too pretty.
