I didnt have a garden this year because of foot surgery. I just got my walking boot off. I sure miss the fried green tomatoes and the dragon toes. Wed, 07 Jul 2021 19:16:05 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1193130 Tuesday: Annoyed this year, I bought tomato plants, rather than grow from seed. Not as big and slow growing. Won't make the same mistake next year. I know it's not the compost, I use the same each year. Everything else I grow using it gets big quick. Plus the bags of compost are very big, cheap compared to brand names. But will be buying a composter. Local council to encourage using them, have a deal with a company to supply them at cut price compared to buying them in the shops.

Last couple years they've looked dead and branches snapped like sticks. I noticed this year I have new growth at the bottom and I'm not touching them ever.

But know a guy who does when time to order it. Had to keep toms and salad in greenhouse. Not now :) Tue, 01 Jun 2021 22:17:56 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1192959 Mort: Still raining here. Maybe a break in a couple of days. We had a freeze late April that killed my 14 year old house plants I always put outside the same time every year. I trimmed them down and one came back.

Wed, 24 Jul 2019 16:04:58 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1189103 BadBoy7: For tomato try a table spoon of baking soda a teaspoon of mild dish water soap and a couple of table spoons of olive oil in about 5 lites of water ..put it in a spray bottle and use twice a day for the first week. Don't know about pepper plants Check the dish water soap as most are a petroleum derivatives or at least biogradable Wed, 24 Jul 2019 04:50:06 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1189101 Carnie: i did that and it seemed to kill my pepper plants Wed, 24 Jul 2019 03:37:12 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1188704 BadBoy7: 1 part dish soap to 10 parts water in a spray bottle Wed, 26 Jun 2019 00:49:24 CEST https://brainking.com/tr/print/Board?bc=65&ngi=1188703 does anyone know what home type remedy you can spray on tomato and pepper plants to keep bugs from eating holes in the leaves etc???
