If you are in the northeast and are growing tomatoes or potatoes, beware of late blight (Phytophthora Infestans). There seems to be a lot of it around this year. Lowe's, Home Depot, Wal Mart and others have pulled their tomato plants off the shelves already. See this article: http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-finance/20090703/US.Farm.Scene.Late.Blight/
