WS tomatoes & Late Blight alert

Rutgers and Cornell extensions have warned that NE USA (Ohio to Maine) has early and spreading cases of LATE BLIGHT due to a southern nursery supplying infected tomato plants to northern nurseries and big box stores. Even though some of us have started plants (GUL or WS) form seed and are free of the deadly disease (which also affects peppers, potatoes, eggplants and even petunias), ours are susceptible from spores from other gardens. Please be aware of this danger and consider taking preventative measures.

Here are a couple of good links to consider:

Oh great, I bought some seedlings from Walmart and shared quite a few. I have them in containers next to my w/s plants. I'll have to check this out.
