Tomat-woes

My tomatoes are done for. I believe they are infected with fusarium wilt, a fungus that creeps through the plant, dashing any hopes of tomato bounty.

It hasn't been a total loss. I managed to harvest a few that weren't gnawed or pecked by critters before the plants totally wilted. We've had enough to grace a few hamburgers and make two small batches of spaghetti sauce and a handful of tomato sandwiches on my home made sourdough bread toasted with mayo and cheese. Teasers. Just enough to whet my tomato appetite, then leave my taste buds hanging.

I need to practice crop rotation. Only, I don't have anyplace to rotate. My expanded garden is still not large enough for the gardening I really want to do.
