Makes them taste better and may or may not prevent blossom end rot. Basil is still better for the taste improvement.

dang, we are really late in getting out tomatoes. When I had time it was way too wet and when it wasn't I didn't have time. Do ya'll think it's too late to plant before the summer heat sets in?

Ta da. My first zucchini. I plan to stir fry it with the jalapeño, an onion, salsa, and a couple of yellow squash that I will pick tomorrow. I have baby pickles on the vines and my first tomato is showing a little blush.

How do you apply the Epsom salt and how much? You can add a tablespoon to a gallon of water and pour it around the root system. I take a tablespoon and spread it around the base then water the plant.

Thank you sir. Mine have gotten too much rain the past two weeks. Even though I have them raised they're not looking too good. They were doing great until the heavy downpours.

probably over saturated, just let them dry out and hope they come back soon. I thought I lost my artichokes, three weeks later they look better then ever.

Payne you scared me a little till I remembered you live south of I-10. I will still keep a look out now though. Kill them all! I got em early last year here. BT: Directions say mix and use within 24 hours. Anyone who uses it know if that's all the effective life it has?

It can last up to a week depending on conditions. If it's real sunny it usually only lasts one day. Spray at dusk to get the most out of it.

Iv read that if you leave your container in a dark place you can make a batch in a sprayer that will last longer , so the sun dosent break it down . However, you can read alot of thingsthat aren't true

I don’t have a garden, but get these nasty worms on some vines that grow on dog pen chain link in the summer. Had 6 last summer. They can eat a lot of vegetation in a short amount of time. I read that they can be found easily with a black light at night.
