What is with/i> this year?

Climate-change-related El Niño. Possibly with a dash of Wrath Of God.

PS: Is it tomatoes in your backyard specifically, or the Mass. tomato crop in general?

I mean—first a depression, now a potato blight? I feel like I'm waiting for the bubonic plague.

Is it tomatoes in your backyard specifically, or the Mass. tomato crop in general?

The article indicates it's statewide, but it certainly explains why ours aren't thriving.

I don't know if the blight's hit Connecticut or not, but nobody's tomatoes have been growing well round here, either. They say it's the weather.

(Oh, and my new icon was inspired by your post about still life, although I know it's not really what you (or Kalb) meant. I probably need to tweak the brightness and contrast, slightly.)

Extends south to the CT shoreline.

Yours may just be unhappy about all the rain and cold weather. But check them: if they DO have blight, kill it with fire you should probably get rid of the plants, to avoid spreading the stuff further.
