Well this has been a banner year for fusarium. Of the 50 plus plants I set out in March all but one are now history and nearly all from fusarium. The 70 plus plants set out in April have fared little better but I still have a dozen still standing. Despite the catastrophic losses I still got over 600 tomatoes off of the ones that got large enough to produce a few fruits before they died. I have run out of replacement seedlings already and am waiting on my fall seedlings to get large enough to start setting some of them out. The fusarium is so bad this year that I may not have started enough plants. I usually figure I'll get one out of five planted for fall to make it through the heat of late summer; but this year may be like four years ago when I only got one out of ten to live.
