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.
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.
