The person at the EXT office was called 'dr', so I'm *assuming* he's some sort of horticulturist? All I know is the extension office made me make a special trip to see him because he is only in the office on thursdays, and he's the 'vegetable expert'. He said that it was bacterial spot. I thought it was blight, given that I'd had a problem with (what I thought) was blight during the summer, but in hindsight, it may have actually been spot that I had the problem with earlier in the year.

all I know is that I pruned my bushes back so much this morning that with the tomatoes hanging down, it looks sort of....perverted, and I REALLY don't want to have to pull them up.

I did note, though that the basil I planted (read somewhere it was a good companion plant) in the same bed has dark splotches of (what looks to me) to be mold. I showed the 'dr' an iphone photo of it when I went in that day, and he said that it looked like the basil had wet feet. I hope the basil is not indicative of some problem that could also affect the romas.....
