Re: Bone Meal. I’m thinking I will give them bone meal in the liquid form once they (the tomatoes) flower. I’m just trying to prevent Blossom End Rot.

This is SO frustrating, and why we suddenly have this much raccoon damage is a puzzle. We generally have dogs running around during the day (with tracking collars; we don’t live by any roads) and this year has been the worst ever.

I’m even taking in all the bird feeders at night, which works well - but then they go after my garden plants! Jerks!

Same here so far as the varmints go. We’ve never had remotely this many, and some big ones, too!
