Just heard an NPR story about tomato blight from Bonnie plants. Three
of my tomatoes have it, but another (from a nursery) was planted later
10 feet away that is growing very well and producing fruit.

SoCal, San Gabriel Valley.
> What have the temps been like?
low 90's day, mid 60s night
> How often do you water?
Every day. Sometimes twice a day. The leaves start to wilt without daily
watering.
How often do you
> fertilize (with what and how much)? Are they in the ground, or pots?
I have been using an organic 5-5-5. So far, one feeding. Before that
Miracle Grow for general purpose use, once a week as directed. All plants
are in pots. They got a magnesium feeding today for the first time.
