Lets See Your Garden

I am finally coaxing a few tomatoes from my plants. I had one 3" one ready on my Gin Fizz plant. Was really psyched to see what it tasted like. So I picked this beautiful little tomato, and turned it around...and the back side was completely black and rotted.

We had a few that way, very disappointing. We grew mostly cherry and those almost never go bad plus they produce 1000's of fruit. It's too hot right now so our first round is over but they are about 12 feet all and as soon as Temps drop a little we'll get another huge round.

Serrano are mostly on pause over the heat but pur jalapeno plants are loving it, hundreds on the plants, getting a dozen every 3 days.

Been waiting for this thread to pop up again!

Parents garden raging out of control full of WEEDS. It's 10x worse now...

Are you saying, it's full of weeds? Or it's full of weed?

Didn't think anyone would notice that quick.
Dad mentioned wanting to grow in passing one time since we're legal here now so I surprised him.

Tbl spoon of Epson salt in a gallon of water. Pour it directly on ground around base of each plant. Won't help any fruit already set but the rest won't be affected.

Where did you get the seeds Sam? Hmm

Don't use Epsom salts. It screws up the calcium intake that causes blossom end rot.
Make calcium acetate by mixing 2 Tbl of ground egg shells with a pint of vinegar and let it rest 2 days. Use a Tbl of calcium acetate to a gallon of water.

Sandy and acidic soils can handle it and are prone to magnesium deficiency. Spraying that mixture on the leaves is best so both cations aren't competing for root uptake but makes a lot of ugly water spots on them.

That's what my grandaddy thought me to do and it's what I've used since I bought the place.

Breeder bud on another forum. Hindu Kush. Out of 12 got 9 plants looking like 6 ladies. One male popped up crazy fast. Super late start and mostly for fun grow. I have friends that started plants on Mother's day and they have beasts like 12' tall.
