What’s wrong with your tomatoes?

Controlling early blight, Septoria diseases

mitment to the most powerful tactic: crop rotation.

Avoid planting tomatoes and their relatives — eggplants, potatoes or peppers — in the same place year after year. A minimum three-year rotation is recommended, probably the biggest challenge to gardeners with limited space. (Next year, maybe try grow bags or straw bales in the driveway?)

At season’s end, remove all tomato debris in a fastidious cleanup, and compost or bury it. Otherwise, material that hasn’t decomposed can become a substrate for the pathogens, Holmstrom said.

hose spots on the foliage of your beloved tomato plants may be slightly panic-inducing, and the recent humid, wet weather isn’t helping.

And misshapen or otherwise disfigured fruit can be frustrating, too.

But there’s a silver lining: Think of it all as a beginner’s course in tomato diseases and disorders — one that will eventually make you better at growing tomatoes.

“If you can learn to recognize certain diseases and pests this year,” said C. Andrew Wyenandt, an extension specialist in vegetable pathology at the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, “you can make better decisions next year and get better results.”

Tomato school, here we come.

The lesson plan includes diseases that are biotic in nature — caused by a fungus, bacterium or virus. Disorders of an abiotic nature are covered, too — where environmental stressors cause unusual responses on fruit, including cases where fruit fails to set (usually because temperatures exceed 90 or fall below 55, interfering with pollination, although overfertilizing can also be a cause).

Oh, and pests.

Some, like the voracious tomato and tobacco hornworms — native moth caterpillars that feed on Solanaceous crops — make themselves known in dramatic fashion, devouring foliage from entire stems in no time, and leaving droppings behind for good measure.

Seeing spots Often the stress of developing a heavy fruit load can be the tipping point, disposing a vigorously growing plant to fungal foliar issues, said Kris-

(METRO CREATIVE ARTS)

tian E. Holmstrom, who runs Rutgers’ vegetable integrated pest management program for northern New Jersey.

Two of the most common fungal diseases may, at first glance, look similar — and you may even have them both: Alternaria, or early blight, and Septoria leaf spot. This is where that hand lens is useful again, to distinguish between the two.

Early blight moves from the bottom up, starting with the lower, or oldest, leaves, which first show dark-colored lesions and then may turn yellow, dropping prematurely. As the spots enlarge, distinctive concentric rings develop within them. Eventually, early blight can infect plant stems and the

shoulders of fruit.

“Don’t be alarmed if you see it,” Holmstrom said. “It happens; it’s normal. Your job is to try and mitigate it so that your plants remain healthy and productive as long as possible.”

Septoria starts by infecting lower leaves, too. Its small, circular spots — often in multiples, each with a dark brown edge and gray or tan center — may coalesce, with areas around them yellowing and leaves dropping.

Both early blight and Septoria leaf spot are soil-borne fungi that overwinter in infested soil.

They are likely to be present where tomatoes or their relatives have grown in previous

years. They are also polycyclic, Wyenandt said, with many disease cycles possible in a growing season, as long as the weather cooperates.

“You may see some disease on lower leaves,” he said.

“And then it rains, splashing spores higher up the plant, and then again even higher. The cycle will continue as long as the weather is conducive to disease.”

Both are also difficult to control. Managing them requires good practices like including a layer of mulch at planting time to minimize the splashing of spores up onto leaves. And similar countermeasures apply to both, starting with a com-

The dreaded late blight The good news about late blight in tomatoes, the disease best known as the cause of the 19th-century Irish potato famine, is that it doesn’t happen every year. The Northeast’s last widespread outbreak was in 2009.

Late blight is caused by Phytophthora infestans, a fungus-like organism called an oomycete (pronounced oh-ohMY-seat) that requires a living host to overwinter in most of the United States. Often, the culprit is a potato tuber left in the ground or compost heap.

The weather must cooperate, too: High humidity and cool, damp conditions are ideal incubators.

matoes and potatoes include circular dark, greasy spots on foliage, and on green and ripe tomato fruit during extended warm, humid, rainy weather.

In ideal conditions, white fungal growth appears on the lesions. The plants, which decline swiftly, should be pulled and destroyed immediately upon diagnosis.

Wondering if it’s a late-blight year where you garden? You can track reports as the season progresses on the real-time map at USABlight.

Although many fruit issues are abiotic — caused not by disease, but by disorders that result from stressors like nutrient imbalances, poor soil conditions and uneven watering — anthracnose fruit rot is an exception. You have probably seen the telltale round, sunken patches from this common soil-borne fungus on ripe fruit.

The centers of the patches darken as spore-containing bodies develop.

Like early blight and Septoria leaf spot, anthracnose can also overwinter, so good garden hygiene and crop rotation are essential — as well as preemptive picking of fruit before it is overripe.

No hand lens is required to diagnose anthracnose, or the most common abiotic disorders. Does some fruit have a shrunken, leathery, black bottom end? Then blossom-end rot is at work, technically caused by a calcium deficiency. But it’s often not a lack of calcium in the soil; rather, the plant isn’t getting enough water to move calcium to the fruit, a condition triggered by an extended dry period.

Are there concentric rings around the stem end of fruits, or running radially downward from there? Cracking, as it is called, also usually follows dry-then-wet weather.

To help prevent cracking and blossom-end rot, adhere to a regular watering schedule to balance what the weather provides. An inexpensive rain gauge will remind you when to supplement what has fallen.

Growing paulownia for leaves, flowers, wood

A

LTHOUGH I HAVen’t seen a paulownia for years, I vividly remember one that bordered a path along which I used to jog. The tree first caught my attention for its leaves. But it was not the leaves’ color — green — that caught my eye, nor their heart shape. Outstanding about these leaves was their size: each one was two to three feet across!

The whole tree was nothing more than a few vigorous, upright shoots growing fifteen feet or so high. Over the years that I watched this tree, it never grew taller than that because winter cold or else someone’s pruning shears kept lopping it back near ground level. That fifteen feet of growth was always made in a single season.

Another name for paulownia is empress tree or princess tree, but you can bet that rapid growth or humongous leaves were not what gave the tree those names. No, I would guess it was the flowers, regal and frilly. They appear over a period of a few weeks before the leaves unfold and are arranged in upright, foot long panicles just like those of catalpa or horse chestnut.

Paulownia’s flowers are lilac blue, with darker blue spots and streaks of yellow on the inside, somewhat like foxgloves or gloxinias. They have a vanilla scent.

I never did get to see or smell the flowers on “my” paulownia. With its shoots lopped back each year, stems never got old enough to make flowers. On the other hand, once a paulownia settles into maturity and begins flowering, leaves grow large, but not humongous.

Some people grow paulownia as an ornamental foliage tree rather than for the flowers. The flower buds are generally killed below zero degrees Fahrenheit, so this far north you couldn’t reliably count on getting flowers anyway. Below about minus ten degrees Fahrenheit, even

the stems are not hardy so you get only juvenile, humongous-leaved growth each year. Roots, especially of mulched plants, can survive up into Canada.

Let’s go south, now, where paulownia can grow large and flower. As you might guess, here is a tree with lumber potential. In fact, paulownia is a valuable wood that has been used for centuries in its native home in Asia, so much so that it has been harvested to extinction in Japan. Large trees have even been spirited away by nightfall here in the U.S. Paulownia wood is light and easy to work, yet strong with little tendency to warp, crack, or split, even with changes in moisture. As such, the wood has been used to make, among other things, furniture and musical instruments. The hauntingly beautiful sounds of the koto reverberate from the hollow paulownia body of this traditional Japanese instrument.

Despite the qualities of the wood and the attraction of the leaves and the flowers, paulownias are sometimes looked down upon as weed trees. True, each seed cap-

Put your feet up on animal-shaped footstool

F

OOTSTOOLS WERE used to elevate the feet of a person sitting in a chair as long ago as ancient Egypt. The stool was usually rectangular with four small feet. In the following centuries, footstools were made as long rectangles with four or more feet. They were used by all those sitting on a bench in front of the fireplace.

Small stools were kept for use by small, seated children whose feet could not reach the floor. Footstools were often made to match the upholstered furniture in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Ambitious housewives covered footstools with their needlepoint work.

In 1927, a man named Dimitri Omersa, who made luggage for the Liberty of London store, created a footstool shaped like a pig from leftover leather. He waxed and polished the leather. The store started to sell his footstools, and today there are 39 different Omersa & Company animal footstools sold by Liberty, Abercrombie & Fitch and other expensive stores.

The footstools retail for about $3,000.

Pony rocker is still a winner

IKE RED WAGONS and Teddy bears, rocking horses have never gone out of style.

In fact, this classic riding toy easily holds its own against an amazing array of electronic toys, games and gizmos. And rocking horses made by dads, grandpas and uncles are more than classics. They become family heirlooms to be ridden, enjoyed and cherished for generations to come.

This do-it-yourself version makes it fun and easy to create your family’s next heirloom. This handsome

and sturdy pony rocker project features a limited rocking motion, rounded edges and wooden hand grips and stirrups for safety, while a yarn mane and tail and scrap-leather ears provide jaunty good looks.

Simple construction techniques and full-size traceable patterns make the project simple, even for beginners. First, trace everything onto 2-by-12 and 1-by-12 lumber, cut out and sand. Next, assemble the pieces using glue, dowels and screws. Finally, apply stain, sealer or paint as preferred

WASHINGTON

30-year US mortgage rates drift down to 2.88%

By Kathy Orton

The Washington Post

Inflation is heating up and the economy is improving, yet mortgage rates keep falling.

According to data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average slipped to 2.88%, with an average 0.7 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. They are in addition to the interest rate.) It was 2.9% a week ago and 2.98% a year ago.

Since rising to 3.18% in April, the 30-year fixed average has fallen 30 basis points.

A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.

Freddie Mac, a federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about 80 lenders nationwide to come up with weekly national averages. It uses rates for high-quality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the criteria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The survey is based on home purchase mortgages, which means that rates for refinances may be higher. The price adjustment for refinance transactions that took effect

in December is adding to the cost. The adjustment, which applies to all Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac refinances, is 0.5% of the loan amount.

That works out to $1,500 on a $300,000 loan.

The 15-year fixed-rate average slid to 2.22% with an average 0.6 point. It was 2.2% a week ago and 2.48% a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average fell to 2.47% with an average 0.3 point. It was 2.52% a week ago and 3.06% a year ago.

“Mortgage rates are falling, even though inflation is running hotter than expected,” said Holden Lewis, a home and mortgage specialist at NerdWallet. “That’s an unusual combo, and you can trace it back to the pandemic. The Federal Reserve believes high inflation is a temporary issue that arises from the global economy’s uneven restart. Because it deems high inflation temporary, the Fed doesn’t plan to cut back on purchases of mortgage-backed securities anytime soon. That means we’ll continue to have an ample supply of money to lend for mortgages, which in turn keeps mortgage rates down.”

and attach the mane, tail and ears.

The completed pony rocker measures 44 inches long by 25 inches tall.

The Pony Rocker plan, No. 738, is $9.95 and includes step-by-step directions with photos, full-size traceable patterns, construction diagrams, a materials list and cutting layout and a toll-free help line for project questions. Please include $3.95 per order for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.

first made in 1915. The mark helps date your dish. Glasbake dishes made after Jeannette bought the company have the letter “J” in front of the number. The dish should not have broken unless the oven heat was too high. It’s best to keep the temperature no higher than 350 degrees.

Putting something very cold (frozen green beans?) into the hot dish can also cause it to break.

Q. I inherited my father’s antique bottles that he collected and traded in the late 1980s and ‘90s.

They are mostly whiskeys, sodas, beer, tonics and cures. It’s a very extensive and valuable collection.

I’d like it appraised for full or partial sale. I recently sold four boxes of sodas for $5,000. Any help is appreciated.
