We got the blight

Early in the summer when our green tomatoes were refusing to turn red, we heard rumblings of a tomato blight that was sweeping across the northeast. (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/18/nyregion/18tomatoes.html) We were able to successfully avoid it and reap a bumper crop...until now! We think that our tomatoes held out for so long because they're organic and weren't raised in an industrial garden center, but alas, we got the blight.
