I finally got a section of my shade cloth up over my tomato garden last week. My wife was on vacation and was a very big help. I have two other sections of 6’X 15’ to put up. I can tell it helps with the temps and the searing sun during the afternoons. I just hope it survives any windy T-Storms that brew up the rest of this summer.
The temps here in East Central Mississippi have been wonderful today, 64 early morning and 85 as a high, so far, this afternoon with very clear blue skies.
Seems like my San Marzano’s are going to be my best producers this year. I wish I had planted 10 or more of them!
I hope y’all have had a great Fourth. Nothing special happening for us this year just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful weather.
We had one San Marzano tomato plant. It developed a disease and we had to dispose of it. Oy.
That’s us too. Just relaxing and doing whatever strikes us. I’ll have to water later today, and we had beans that we had to process, because they interferred with exercise afternoom yesterday.
I just made it a rule that I will not process anything on exercise days. So far I am 1 week into the exercise, and already the rule has been tested twice.LOL I am sticking to it - so side tracking.
Hubby brought me in some roma tomatoes (green) to look at. On the stem ends he noticed a discoloration kinda looks like a greenish taupe color. Although one did have a somewhat different discoloration on the blossum end too.
I told him my guess would be to add some calcium, bone meal, and epsom salts to the 5 gallon containers, but that I have no idea what it is.
You’ve grown a lot of tomatoes. Does anything come to mind that it could be? Thanks.
