I think its mainly weed control.. possibly some reflection of heat towards the plants.. i could be wrong though. Maybe water direction as well?

Tomatos Growers!1 Just a few hints to REALLY get a winning crop. Tomatos can be tricky or simple.. I have had no REAL issues with them, but just a few times. Water at the BASE of the plant.-- damp leaves and poor circulation can cause fungus Plant MARIGOLDS with your tomatos-- Aphids (a common bug issues) dont like marigolds and avoid areas of them. Peppers, and Tomatos are BEST OF FRIENDS.. Plant together.. (Carrots do well also, as tomatos root system breaks up the soil, and carrots like loose soil) Tomatos should be rotated to a new spot every year in a 3 year cycle. (i have 3 boxes that i rotate them between). They are HORRIBLY prone to disease, and planting in the same area twice makes the disesae more likely to get your plants. They LOVE SUN. The south East side of your house is ideal! They LOVE HEAT as well, but still need watered weekly.. Dont over water, or you will get split tomatos. Also, Keep in mind for large crops that FOOD PANTRYs can use your crops to help families in the area! Check out Ample Harvest to find pantries near you to donate to (Tax benefit here too!) Companion Planting is an EXCELLENT way to get the most out of your garden, and dont forget to ROTATE yoru crops year to year for better plant nutrition usage

I have suggested this article to a few people- Good Read- About:Powdery Mildew What Causes Powdery Mildew? Powdery mildew fungi seem to be everywhere. They overwinter in plant debris begin producing spores in the spring. These spores are carried to your plants by wind, insects and splashing water. Conditions that encourage the growth and spread of powdery mildew include: Dampness or high humidity (Not common during rainy seasons or in extreme heat) Crowded plantings Poor air circulation Controlling Powdery Mildew Choose healthy plants and keep they growing healthy Try and find a powdery mildew resistant cultivar, if your area is susceptible Don’t plant non-resistant varieties in the shade Once Your Plants are Infected: Remove and destroy all infected plant parts-- I feel iffy about this.. see if you can get it under control first. Improve air circulation by thinning and pruning Don’t fertilized until the problem is corrected. Powdery mildew favors young, succulent growth Don’t water plants from above This to me is a HUGE part of the problem. Tomatos doent like thier leaves terribly wet.

My stuff is going in thi sweek (or if i get the full motivation, today!) the later you put it in, the later you will get a crop. The first time i did tomatos. .i think it was late june when i but a 3-4 month old plant and put it in the ground.. we only had like 4 tomoatos that first yera, but god they were the best tomatos i had ever tasted! Last years rainy spring competley ruined me having a garden except for peas, at all.. oh and jalapenos. Peppers like a soil temp of AT LEAST 50-60° so i wait till its consistantly warm.. (which it has been all spring/winter) Peppers probably could have even gone in as recent as almost a onth ago, but the few frostyish mornigs we had might have done some minor damage.. but i think surivived.

I can't even begin to describe how jealous I am of that much space. Any corn?

Sorry I don't know who you are IRL, as attached to a CR name. :ashamed:

I tell ya... Simi runs a tight ship.. Love it that you guys got that many with that huge of a turn out!

Editing raw in photoshop is terrible IMHO. I didn't fully understand how valuable raw is until I got Lightroom and started watching videos on YouTube. However, I did know that raw was valuable and have been shooting raw/jpeg since 2010 when i switches to Nikon and little while still on canon. I have gone back and edited photos from the recently an am glad did both while i didn't know what I was doing. I no longer shoot jpg at all. RAW only.

Holy crap that sucks.. Did it happen on course? How many entrants and how many runs?

So. i was pumped for the Super Moon ALLLL WEEEK.. So much so that i almost rented a lens.. I set up the rental but cancelled at the last minute because as excited as i was.. i wasnt 45$ excited. Anyways.. I didnt remember to go out till 10 last night.. and got a few shots of the "brightest" point.. but totally missed it when it was super huge early evening Did anyone else get any? (ill post mine up later today.. the inlaws are coming! )

Has your swarm moved on?

Eggzacry

I'll be shocked if you do 4, but hope you guys do!

So yah.. Definitely a 3 run day

Seriously.. just take it all apart and put all hte plastic peices in a bucket of soapy water and let it soak for about 15 mins.. lay on a towel and let it air dry. Also have you replaced your air filter recently or rinsed it out? I have found that the rubber gaskets on the pieces get dusty from all the stuff they suck up and lose suction if i dont clean them once a year

I love a bitchen wagon. why no embed??

Dysons have like a 5 year warranty.. or something ridiculous.. They have repair centers here in town (i had a part i needed replaced and had to go tehre to get it free) I am a Total Vacuum snob. They were the first motors i ever worked on.. My dad taught me how to take them apart and fix them and put them back together. I love how i can take apart the WHOLE vacuum easily to clean out all the parts and keep it in tip top shape. we bought ours in 2005. Still runs like a champ. It never ceases to amaze me how much crap it pulls up. I have no issues spending a fair chunk of change on a vacuum especially if it lasts. that sucker better suck good. I have had budget ones, i have had middle of the road ones.. I know a work horse when it lasts more than 3 yeras in my house.

Thanks!! Im glad you like the photos GLWS!

How you think I feel!?? Im a GIRL walking around with a camera around my neck.. :no: Nathan freaks out if i say i am going shooting at night.. (rightfully so.. The sewage treatment plant that was off 70 downtown was awesome.. but they tore it down, and THAT place was scary..

After a month of buying new camera equipment (hey guess wahat.. that 50$ tripod you have been using for 5 years CANNOT SUPPORT PRO GEAR :fuuuu: you have to buy a NEW tripod!!) and Ipad is NOWHERE near being in the budget.. + i have a kindle.. but i want the internet thats on my phone as well.

Yah.. I am traveling with my mom and brother.. I will need my phone for entertainment at times.. NO PHONE FOR GPS. I realize its a convience thing but i dont want tmy phone atached to teh windshield wile i am driving

I love my dyson. I have a dc-14 from 4 years ago yes it's pricey, yes it's with it. We have 5 pets. I vacuum A LOT.

Absolutely no to the phone. No if ands or nuts on his. I will not do it. It has annual updated we do. It's just old and slow. He first annual update we did to it made it terrible to use. Each one since has made it worse and worse.
