Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not getting a lot of fruit starting on my tomatoes. Dont know if its the heat or lack of pollinators. All I know is haven't seen any bees since the clover dried up in the yard. LB

I'm the exact opposite, plants are loaded with fruit, but, nothing seems to want to ripen! Plenty of pollinators in the garden as of late.

same here, green tomatoes on for 3 to 4 weeks already and not a hint of color. Jalapeno plants are dark green, I fertilized a couple times but most the plants are tiny and not doing crap. Cukes are all in mine that are doing decent. Having to water every day and crap to show for it. Looking at the 10 day nothing below 95. Im very close to calling it quits and letting it all croak.

We are in the same shape , I blame it on all the canola up here but not sure. We usually have a swarm of wasps around the hummer and oriole feeders but not this year.

They have started air spraying Canola up here and theres a lot of it. I heard the plane going every morning a week ago. No idea what they are spraying for but it is concerning because you know where the pollinators were.

pretty good harvest of evans/bali cherries this year. Ended up freezing 6 quart bags and have enough left over to make a batch of jam. gonna mix about 50/50 with honeyberries to see how that turns out.

I heard from a guy who said he grows tomatoes all year: Gently insert a Q-tip a few times in each bloom in random order. IDK.

Bonus:



I like to buy a jar of bread 'n butter spears, add a tsp of cayenne, shake gently and steep in the fridge for a couple days:

Used to do it in the greenhouse with a small artist paint brush , as long as you do all of them it works.

Anyone else having issues with tomato plants?

Planted 6 and pulled one 2 weeks ago that looked like the one on the right.
And the top leaves on the other ones don’t seem right to me.

Mine are doing the exact same thing

That's why you go several times in random order I guess.

LB,
tomatoes are starting to produce fruit but slowly.

I also had to help my cucumbers have sex but only 1 time, take a male flower and touch it to a female flower.

Not this year though, this makes 81 cucumbers off of 3 plants so far

Stayed out about an hour to long today, had a low sugar hit and got a little goofy. Wife got me in the house and got me some sweets and cooled down. About back to normal now, man I hate that low sugar stuff, should know better by now. LB
