my garden
all by 8 or so of these tomato plants i started from seed. i lost a few in the back bed on the left side to damping off but had a few others randomly sprout from scraps i tossed out over the winter.
i am noticing some leaf curl at the bottom of a few of my plants in the front bed but we have been getting tons of rain here in southwest pa. i pruned the lowest branches off that were layin on the dirt(actually peat moss) and starting to turn yellow. i also was pretty good at getting all the suckers. being that i only have this small space i dont want suckers taking over also i got a late start on my peas and cucumbers. my beets are doing very well this year as well as my onions. we have get 3 nice pickings of lettuce so far |

Wvuarmyeng,... nice. Your plants look all very healthy.
Your gardening style looks similar to mine, in more than one way. Here are couple of pictures of mine , to demonstrate the point. Gardeneer |

im not a fan of chemicals even though i use them. what would you guys use to spray?? i have a beetle bag up by my deck and have some marigolds planted around the outside. those small sugar and fire ants are super bad this year. they seem to be resistant to tero (ill put a pic of the trap by my front door up later)
