“We certainly see a huge difference in yield as we have used the Chicken Soup for the Soil and also the same guy sells a natural tomato food which we used.”
I’m really happy that’s working for you! I was skeptical based upon the 2-3 page ads he had in some gardening magazines!
I REFUSED to pay $14 a bottle plus shipping for my beloved Algo-Flash this season. I switched to a lesser-known brand by me, Peter’s, and so far, so good. I gave them bone meal and egg shells to start, of course.
My tomato plants are HUGE this season, setting fruit and flowering, and not a SPEC of disease, except for my Roma-types, but they seem to always have SOME problem, no matter what variety I grow. *SHRUG* Having a dry year has helped, disease-wise. Other years? Not so much. :(
Most of my tomatoes are in the 65+ day range, so I won’t have ripe tomatoes for quite a while yet, other than cherry-types. I can wait - I KNOW what’s waiting for me on the other side! Eeek!
My Sweet Corn is tasseling! Excited about that. If I can find my potato fork - Beau? You used it last! - I want to dig some new potatoes this week. Yum! :)
Mom was here today and she went home with a HUGE bouquet of flowers, (Zinnia, Sunflowers, Black Eyed Susan, Cosmos, herbs for filler) cucumbers and zucchini.
Holy Moly Batman... LOOK AT THOSE TOMATOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
