Thanks for the information on the spray.  I have black spot here since we 
have so much rain and humidity year round.  This is not a good place to try 
growing roses.  Do you think the tomato leaves could be dried and powdered to 
make the spray too?  I would be more than willing to grow a few tomato plants 
just for the foliage to give it a try if any of you think this would be a 
worthwhile effort.  

The apple trees are in bloom and it looks like I might get a good crop this 
year.  I certainly hope so since last year my largest tree had something like 
seven apples only.  

Thanks for the visit while I warmed up my toes and had a hot cuppa.
