5. Nice article. Since you're in NC, I have to ask if you have the 'leaf spot' disease problem?

I'm towards the foothills area near Mt Airy, and for four consecutive years I get this 'leaf spot', where it starts with the lower leaves rotting off and continues through the rest of plant until it just stops making flowers and producing. And I've done all the fungicide sprays, using ground coverings to keep plants from touching the ground, pruning lower branches, etc. Plants are heirlooms, paste types and cherry varieties. The plants start off very strong and develop very good roots, but still I only get until the end of July for whatever tomatoes I get to consume, and which have a great flavor!
