Tornado Near-Miss 100% at 2:05. I am sure as hell thankful that the rolling vortex up in the clouds didn't meet a sheer force wind that would have tilted it downward because that would have undoubtedly resulted in a funnel cloud forming... what a wild storm front with an incredible amount of cloud to ground lightning, and these storms will only become more common as we progress further into the Grand Solar Minimum.
Lots of beautiful sunshine (i where long sleeves now to protect from the Sun's beating energy) before the storms tracked close enough to blot out the ball of fire. Was a bit concerned about the potential for hail damage but thankfully no hail decided to form or at least drop over top of us.
Tomato plants along the fence are beginning to show symptoms of some disease, be it leaf spot or blight. Hoping the plants can hang on for the next few days before I can spray again. They have given me a multitude of tomatoes.. and I am very thankful for all the fortune I have had this first season growing my own food.

The storms were scary. And the rain is still coming. 😞 Looks like we will dry out this week. Fingers crossed. What type of spray do you use?

I use an appropriate concentration of Neem oil mixed with bT in the form of Thuricide (after researching and finding consensus that they do mix). I use a nice four gallon back pack sprayer because it was a hell of a burden to haul 3 changes of 2 gallon bucket up and down, up and down from the farm to the garage.

In the beginning of the grow season I inserted a rod of copper into each of the plant stems of the larger tomato plants. It helped to prevent all diseases but I forgot to insert copper rods into the smaller plants as they grew larger, and it does appear that those are the plants that are falling victim first.
Science.
