I used broken eggshell because I had a lot I had saved over the winter months & it has worked very well. I don't think I would want to eat slimed leaves even after washing. I would think I could taste it......probably too vivid an imagination.........!! :rolleyes: :hu :rose Hattie :rose

No not the blight I have experience of but have a look at this page & see if any of the photos look like your plants. http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/publications/tomatoproblemsolver/leaf/ I am so sorry that you are having so much trouble with your tomatoes -- I know how I felt last year &...

Hello the lemon tree, I'm afraid I think it looks like blight to me......not good news at all ! Have a look at this site as it is a bit hard to read your photos as they are not very clear. It is much easier for you to compare...

:frow :frow Too right Steve.........!! :celebrate :thumbsup Great quote! :bow Spot on, as usual ! :tongue Hattie :plbb

:frow :frow You are certainly having a tough year, I just hope that the weather improves soon & you can get out into your garden more. I too find it a calming place & chose to spend my 70th birthday,last Tuesday, alone & working in my garden (much to the amazement of my friends). I needed to...

:frow Hi wifezilla ! Quote from another Rodale article on tomato blight It explains how a lot of us probably lost our entire tomato crops last year. It still makes me weep as I grew over 50 heirloom plants from seed & they looked wonderfully healthy & were thriving: one week later they all...

:frow The labels are only there for information; they are NOT there to compel you to do anything. They are just a reminder that all may not be well. Ignore them if you want to (or have to for economic reasons). It amazes me that some people get quite so upset about this - why do they want...

:frow :frow Personally I am not someone who needs to eat gluten-free but I have many friends who are so it is very useful to have new recipes up my sleeve. I love almonds so I was intrigued by this one & I intend to test it very soon...

:frow :frow Chocolate for me too!! :love But not Hershey I'm afraid; don't like it at all, nor our traditional British chocolate. It has to be the darkest, bitter kind I'm afraid. Now that is the stuff that keeps you happy & healthy. Luckily it is so full of goodness I don't eat so much...

:frow :frow Hi PotterWatch, Thank you so much for remembering to post the photos -- it is really interesting to see them. It must be a great thing to have this site in an urban setting. I wish every town & city could have them; I am sure it would do everyone's health a lot of good. Keep us...

Good for you vfem!!.............:clap :clap :clap :clap :clap People over here in Europe pay a lot more attention to labels than they seem to in the US. After all it is just information; they are not enforcing any actions other than printing this info. It is very interesting that certain...

:frow :frow Hi SuperChemicalGirl, First of all>>>>>>>>>>> :welcome I hate to tell you but I suspect you have blight on your squash, cucumbers etc. I had it on all my tomatoes & squash family last year & lost the whole harvest. Did you plant in the same areas as last year because the virus...

:frow :frow I found some more info here on UK sites (so the month that they say it flowers may be very different to your area in the US). http://www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/shrubs/roses/shrub-rose/bush-rose/other-shrub-rose/rosa-k%C3%B6nigin-von-d%C3%A4nemark/classid.77933/...

:frow :frow I think it maybe "Queen of Denmark". I had one in my last garden. Have a look at these photos on this link...

:frow :frow About a year ago HiDelight & I made a pact to put any information to do with cardoons onto this thread so I am adding this new article in the hope that it lures her back to this forum.............. I know she occasionally peeks in...... . :lol: I wish she would post again as I...

:frow :frow Hi, I am back again because this article just arrived & I thought the photos of the flowers might be useful. She is a great cook, an American woman who married an Italian & now runs wonderful cooking classes both there & in the US etc. I urge you to try her recipes as they are...

:frow :frow Hi desertgirl, I read somewhere that you can slip an old thin nylon stockin or one leg from a pair of tights over the young flowering head as it forms & this will stretch as it grows; the caterpillars cant get to it then. :idunno Might be worth a try? I use a special...

:frow :frow Jordan, So good to see your photos of this years garden, as usual it looks great. I still remember the wonderful ones of your harvest last year. I have just managed to get my raised beds planted up. We had a long, very cold winter here in the UK so I am very late but every thing...
