Two days ago I pulled up or cut at the stem all of my tomatoes. They all had blight. I haven't successfully grown tomatoes since I moved to Louisiana.

On the bright side, my pumpkins and beans are doing awesome.

I don't think it's all of the south east, though. My dad is growing some indeterminate types in Florida and sent me a picture of his patch. They're about +7' tall! New Orleans is extra humid though.

Supposedly once they have blight you can treat them with an antifungal spray, but they'll never really thrive after that. Preventative measures are best.

As for blossom end rot, is that lack of calcium in the soil? I can't remember. I think crushed eggshells buried on the surrounding soil is supposed to help with that.
