I remember your Opo troubles from last season. Score on the plants at Menard’s. I’ll have to think of a reason to go there this week! ;)

Good on the Eggplant, too!

If it ever stops RAINING I’ll be fertilizing all my ‘stuff.’

I had to break off a few errant tomato limbs this past week while pruning and weeding. I’ve got one Cherry-type and one red slicer slips in water right now to root. I am going to Go For The Gold again this season and see how long I can keep tomatoes producing into the Fall/Winter in the unheated greenhouse.

My Best Season Ever was FRESH tomatoes at Christmastime. :)

One of my wife’s friends, in fact, the source of my Opo seeds, usually, grows ‘em like crazy. Neither she nor I can figure out what I’m doing wrong! (Except for the squirrels, later on.)

Here’s a question: Which is better for rooting plants? Tumeric, or Cinnamon? I’ve seen both suggested.

Here’s another: Some of the tomato plants in the 6-packs @ Menards looked fine, except some of their leaves were a purplish color. Any idea what’s causing that?
