thanks Paul. I avoided mulch this year because last season I gardened, I used straw and had an explosion of voles. They loved it. Apparently they also appreciate mulch, so I used the weedblock. Watered with a soaker hose under the weedblock (I'm always fighting EB so careful about that.)
But, we've had much more rain and wind and high heat/humidity here in SW Ohio so that is the challenge this year.
The spots on the tomatoes is a new one -- just looked like freckles but as the fruit ripens they do turn into depressions. It's a shame as the plant looks healthy otherwise, leaves are fine, lots of fruit, but you can tell all the ripening fruit on that plant has the same issue.
The plants were from an unknown source (long story), I wonder if the seed was contaminated with whatever the disease is.
I guess I can just pull it and then place more weedblock over the hole so less splashing from the soil. I'll post a pic of mystery freckles.
This tomato didn't look bad, but the riper they are, the more the spots look like little depressions.
