Blight?! In Marianne Aleardi’s garden?!

Toni Farmer helps Marianne manage her infamous tomato blight and (hopefully) get some tomatoes this year unlike her disappointing harvest last year.

And she gives us some tips for our own blight fights:
1. use a solution of 1/3 vinegar + 2/3 water (you can also use 1/3 bleach or rubbing alcohol)
2. dip your scissors in the water
3. cut the blight from your tomato plant
*don’t forget to dip your scissors in the solution between each cut

Happy gardening!
