UMaine Extension Specialist Comments on Tomatoes

Frank Wertheim, a home horticulture specialist with the University of Maine extension in York County, was interviewed for a Portland Press Herald gardening column about tomatoes. Wertheim said there isn’t really too much gardeners can do at this point to help the tomatoes recover from the recent rainy weather, but he did share the good news that as of the end of June, late blight had not been spotted in Maine.
