Planted some green onyawn stubs early, and with temps bouncing like they are, they are not looking happy. Still, we would like to have at least some tomatoes, and a pepper (type undecided yet).

What were they attacked by? (for insects Rambo gives the best advice, using Sevin dust or spray)
we have a rabbit problem here, the coyotes can't seem to catch them, we have tried repellent and fence to no avail, the neighbors feed them so shooting is out. :dont:


We don't really know. It wasn't an animal or bird, and at first we thought, sun scald and so we shaded the fruits a bit. But they kept getting worse. Maybe some kind of insect, maybe a disease.

Never using compost in those grow boxes again.
Moink!

Agree! Seems blood finds it’s way out and I usually don’t know how.


BTW, still have chances of a freeze this weekend, won’t be plantin for a few weeks yet. I hope they can get my soil delivered this week though.
