Ami, thanks for that but I know I've already posted here the current Cornell update to LB, I don't know which thread at this point, which includes the FAQ's that you just posted.

From posts at DG and GW and even here at Tville I really haven't seen anyone who has been able to save plants that show symptoms of any kind.

Just take a look at Sequee's pictures at DG for one example.

I know that I for one would not even try to save a plant with known LB b'c of the possibility of spores spreading from one plant to another if in the rare case that not all plants in a specific area are affected all at roughly the same time, which appears to be the case.

The Cornell Coop Ext in my area has posted bulletins in my area describing the tremnendous loss of commercial tomato fields as well as home grower gardens and some are even speaking of a tomatoless summer.

My fingers remain crossed here at my place.
