i'm envious. i got started late. all my tomatoes seem to be being eaten from the inside out. about the only things doing well are the beans and the zucchini.

the heat and humidity don't help, Dan. i've had a lot of bottom rot.
i'm growing 3 kinds, my Spanish angel............Brandywine, a local heirloom for slicing, Princep Borghese, for sun-dried tomatoes, and Sungold, yellow cherry tomatoes.

so it's bottom rot? and i'm guessing if/when the temps cool down the fruits will look better? thx for the tomato lesson. i'm embarrassed to say i'm mostly an ornamentals guy. next year i'll get the brandywines. i hate it when i put so much energy into a plant and it doesn't produce....

cool cannabis cover...now you see em...now you don't...my maters look way better now. pity they are all ripening at the same time...too much of a good thing gets dull. but sadly all my other veggies are plagued by mites because of last months record heat. except the maters which seem immune.

he's very friendly........one killer in the house is enough:)
wood ash has a lot of potash, but it changes ph. softwoods are acid; hardwoods base.

where do you buy shade cloth? my veggies are on my porch that gets intense afternoon sun with temps probably 110+ in the direct sun. i also have some peppers that fall off after being pollinated. could this be from the heat?

peppers usually tolerate the heat. not sure what the issue is. my peppers live in direct sun next to a reflective wall........hot.
