Sounding good so far! We aren’t getting too much in the way of maters yet. I have had a few ripe ones. Hubby still has a bunch of green ones.
Hubby has been growing his tomatoes this year in 5 gallon buckets. Also his first year to try to grow roma tomatoes.
He just brought in some to show me, and they have some sort of discoloration kinda taupe colored on the stem end.
Anyone have any ideas about what it is and the cure? I told him to give it some bone meal and epsom salts, since that’s good to add at a certain point anyway.
Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
I planted a little early, spun the wheel,
We may redo the back yard so doing a bucket or planter built-in w/ easy moving garden ya can eat makes sense. Ya see the price of veggies lately?
Berries have held steady pricewise but some fruit, no way. Fortunately we have a lot of smaller oriental markets locally that have decent produce at a good price.
Man must eat.
But going broke doing it
Is not a good option.
Sometimes 'sunscald' will stain on both fruits and stems , although it may be more tan colored than taupe
the only correction/ assist might be shade cloth.
and provide more water.
