Pyrethrin is Severin, right? Could neem oil be substituted? I've never seen yellow stick traps, what are they called in the stores? Thanks for the heads up

Yellow sticky traps :https://www.amazon.com/Yellow-Sticky...w+sticky+traps
Seven is totally different than pyrethrin. Thrips cause spotted wilt virus. Whiteflies (only the silver leaf type, not the ficus ones), and tomato suck bugs cause Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus. Aphids including the black winged aphids cause cucumber mosaic virus of tomatoes. |

Thanks Marsha - The plant is flowering a lot; I took some of those funky leaves off and totally trimmed back it's companion.
I really need to start trimming these back. I have cinder blocks and these really heavy round cements blocks in the back to keep them from blowing over. So far only the wind knocked 2 down. Actually one into the other - now I have them at different angles. Pics taken today by DH: Total Beasts - the short ones on the left were cuttings.

Barb,You have such a great amount of fruit set on the root pouches ones. Also, what a very large patio. Lucky you.
Have you been buzzing? I sure have. Loving this season so much. We deserve it after last season sucked so bad. |

Barb, I also hope you don't mind me mentioning that I think your EB tomato plants are getting too much nitrogen. Lush green growth but not that much fruit, is why I think this.
I would Increase the phosphorous, and trim out a lot of the thicket, especially the suckers that grow right below a blossom truss. |

Barb, oasis, is the word for your garden.
Marsha is correct, but may I say that your garden looks deliciously green.

Barb,
Your tomato plants look so healthy!! I cannot leave mine that bushy because they have dew on them all night long... basically dripping wet by morning so i have to keep them pruned pretty thin. I love the way yours look... :-) are you getting lots of blossoms and fruit set? Ginny Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk |

I only had dew on the leaves yesterday (Monday) but the sun came out and burned it off. Today was just much cooler but no dew.
Mike took the picture b/c I know I have to start pruning. After the picture was taken, I started pruning one of those plants (Champion 2 - seeds from you Ginny) and there was 25ish tomatoes just in the middle section. I will get a picture tomorrow. The branches in the EBs are so co-mingled it's hard to tell which plant they belong to. I've been supplementing the EBs with the Masterblend formula which includes Calcium Nitrate and magnesium. I think the season is just phenomenal; I can tell with the cuttings that are rooting and flowering without anything. I have been buzzing but there are several turquoise bees always around buzzing too. My cucumber plant has bees (regular honey type) constantly. The turquoise bees don't go near the cucumber plant.

We should definitely weigh our tomatoes this year. Not to be competitive but to learn which ways are producing the most since I think we are all doing things different with regards to fertilizer and pruning. Barb do you have a feet strip and also you are supplementing with master blend? Or are you using master blend only?

I put them into the tube then add water to mix the next morning. Gives them time to dissolve then adding the water spreads them. The Tomato Tone takes care of the rest. Never have I seen so many blossoms, and fruit Set! Yay Barb! ![]() |
