They always funked up.

Three years ago I finally found a spray called Serenade. It's organic stuff and approved by the organics councils and works pretty well when applied on a regular basis and also after a rain. The concentrate is much more cost effective than the ready-to-use. About $19-20 for 32 oz which makes a lot of spray. Used to be hard to find but much easier now.

However, as we all know, tomatoes do not live by spray alone so good nutrition, regular watering and attention are a part of the mix. Last summer I finally had success with testing two varieties without a string of resistance letters, Homestead and Creole ,so this year I'm trying a few more. Still growing the Celebrity, Better Boy and Juliet, though.
