July 1, Wednesday

Watered heavily today after 2 days of no water on the tomatoes and 1 without water on the entire bed. Found a possible explanation for the black edges on some of my tomato leaves: bacterial canker. If that's what it is, there's no option but to pull out both plants and not plant tomatoes in the bed for 3 years. Since I'm no worse off for waiting and keeping an eye on it (as far as I can tell) I'm going to do just that. There are no spots on the fruit, and only one plant shows damage to the leaves. I'm hoping less watering will clear it all up like a bad dream.
