I love canning tomatoes and preventing early blight !!


Have you ever canned tomatoes?  It is so very easy to do.  This has been a wonderful year for tomatoes in our garden... partly because of burying blended kitchen scraps around the plants, and also, largely because I found a video on YouTube that said to mix 1 Tablespoon of baking soda and one crushed aspirin in a gallon of water and use it to spray the leaves, on the top and bottom of all the leaves, at least once a week and after a heavy rain.  It prevents early blight.  I have had trouble with blight for many years and this year... none.  I am very very grateful!

  1. We're having a great tomato harvest. We were worried at first because they seemed slow coming in. But no worries. No blossom end rot, no blight, nothing. Lots to can.
