Thanks Payne and Brad. I've been going about a week with it.

if that's true, I need to get a black light to find them while tomatoes are in

If you spray the plant with water they will start shaking and you can spot them pretty easy

This cool weather seems to be slowing down growth.

Pretty cool with heirlooms but more trouble than I would go to.

My tomatoes are a full two weeks behind last years crop.

Same here my tomatoes are slow I was eating BLT's this time last year..

I've gotten two jalapenos but so far that's it. Last year we moved and I planted real late...didn't get but a couple of tomatos...I've got more tomatos on the vine today than I saw all of last season. To be fair, last year I was planting right now and my current plants have been in the ground for 2 months.

I'm pretty well loaded on green tomatoes. Here are two of my six. I'll still be giving them away. I gave up making salsa and marinara.

From what I see this will be my last attempt at growing anything I'm done with it and all over with the excitement from it...

Anything? or just fruits and veggies?



BO - good looking tomatoes!

You might want to re-think that. The business section of the morning paper reported that tomato prices are getting ready to double.

first pick of the year

Very nice.

I need to give this method a try. Looks like the time frame between the killing heat to replant for fall is about perfect.

Fingers crossed. My neighbor had a couple of ripe tomatoes today.

Yep. Something is getting my cucumbers just before they are ready to pick. Picked four tomatoes today. I pick them at first blush.

Finally.

Does anyone have a good picture of a humming bird feeder set up for bees? And could you tell us what you’re filling it with...

Get a Shepherds hook, hang feeder in the middle of your garden, put a cup of sugar in the feeder, fill with water, they’ll find it

Something like this, I'd recommend the one with the foot. A single pole will fall over. You can make them out of rebar or buy one at lowes, home depot or walmart.

Blossom rot on first three tomatoes that started to turn Went last nite and got some calcium fertilizer...be interesting to see how it goes. I just might not be cut out for tomatoes

didn't you yankees get a bunch of rain lately?

Put wood ash in there next year. You could still get some good tomatoes.
