When to Pull Them

AlittleSalt · June 12, 2016

On one site, I read that they are not active in ground temperatures below 64F.

Worth, I did pull the leaves back - but probably should have removed them altogether until it quits raining so often.

Here is a site with info on solarization and other techniques. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/g...ummer_heat.htm

As I wrote above - the marigolds we always grow are dwarf French. It looks like we're going to have a colorful garden from now on.

I went out into the garden and wrote down which tomato varieties look and produced the best. Maybe some of them have nematode resistance - or it could be those plants just didn't get attacked as much? None of the ones with more than one plant are planted beside each other.

Amethyst Jewel - 2 plants
WOW - 2 plants
Japanese pink cherry - 2 plants
Rebel Yell - several plants
Indigo Blue Berries - 2 plants
Yellow Centiflor Hypertress
Exp. Yellow PL Cherry
Carbon Copy
Big Beef
Couilles de Taureau - no fruit
Sweetie - 2 plants
