Herb Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 @Fishhead, when we had a built in pool in Denver, my favorite quick shower in the morning was to dive in and swim the length of the pool then get ready for work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish, you have had a lot to do before getting to a garden. That pool was a mess. Obvious improvement tho. Are you going to raise chickens for fresh eggs? Yes on the yard birds. There was a run of kennels and the roof of it blew off years back. We're going to convert it into a chicken coop with part of it converted to Clyde and Cody hidey holes (the dogs) so they can have cover/shelter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dachsie Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 I have 3 of my tomato plants that keep dropping blossoms. The others are doing fine. I have added calcium, iron, more fertilizer. I am not sure what else to do. I even read on Facebook, some guy who put tums or rolaids when he planted his tomatoes (his were 12 feet tall) so I crushed some tums and put on them. That solved the yellow leaves I was having. Anyone have any other suggestions? My three varieties are Brandywine, Florida Pink and Hawaiian Pineapple that are doing this.

Just Me Posted June 10, 2023 Author Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) many tomatoes drop their blossoms with temps around 85 to 90 or above. it may just be time of year. i am having the same problem, because of temps. i planted late because of a late freeze, so i didn't get a lot of fruit set before temps took off.

Hatchertiger Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 All of my plants are taking a beating in this heat wave especially the one in pots. Its survival of the fittest at my house. Lost one the other day b/c it got white powdery mildew thanks to all this humidity. Good bye, I'm not going to engage in a spraying program for 4 $3.00 plants. Next.

Just Me Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Mine is suffering. Bugs are worse than they have been in years, and since I go totally organic, it's bad. Then there is the disease setting in from the heat and humidity. I'm already ripping out a lot of plants, and replanting. Typical garden life.
