I sprayed the milk mixture once on all the affected plants, and it has been a week since then. Margaret, you are a lifesaver. I am delighted to report that the milk treatment worked like a charm on the tomatoes, and best of all, it's organic. Out of about 450 plants, only about 35 will need replacing. We're forever in your debt. We still have lots of varieties of tomato plants. Want some? They're on us.
