PESO:
It started to rain yesteday afternoon, after we had finished planting 75
tomato plants! The rain brings out the cedar rust on all of the cedar
trees around here:

The cedar rust sends out spores that infect the apple trees with a fungus.
The only cure is to cut down all of the cedar trees within a 4 mile
radius. We plan to cut the ones on our farm but will have to spray the
apple trees to prevent the fungus from other cedar trees from infecting
them :-( There are cedar resistent apple trees, but they aren't totally
successful in the face of this much rust!!
It's the weirdest looking stuff I've ever seen and I had never seen it
before we moved here.
C&C and suggestions greatly appreciated!
