Mortgage Lifter

UFXEFU · June 16, 2015

I carried these to a church luncheon today and came home with an empty container. First time to grow Mortgage Lifter, another must grow next year.

They are delicious! Thank you Marsha for the seed.

They do look good! I only got 4 off mine before they went down to disease. Last year they produced heavily all Summer with no problems. Go figure!

They look delicious! Just wonder which Mortgage Lifter it is? Tatiana lists more than 12.

Disease this year is probably caused by all this rain we have been having. Kinda hard to spray when it rains just about every day and the days it is not raining it's in the 90s. This year I've just pruned diseased foliage and hope for the best.

Same here, I live close to the Arkansas stateline. Maybe all this rain will pass soon. Have you used the diluted bleach spray for foliar diseases? It helped my plants so far.

I have not sprayed my plants with any thing this year, it's just been too wet and muddy. I usually use Hi-Yield fungicide, but not this year. I have had some early blight, but just pruned the diseased branches. I can't complain, I have been blessed with lots of tomatoes this year..... even though the weather has not been favorable. We had a tornado touch down 6:30 this morning destroying several homes and out buildings and lots of trees. And yeah..... more rain 3.6" and it's been raining off & on all day. I was blessed again as we only had two Bradford Pear trees destroyed, no house or garden damage.
