Thrips is one possibility for sure. Look up pics of them on the web to compare to be sure. Aphids can also be yellow and very tiny but the insecticidal soap should help with both. Just use it with care. You can also hand squish them or use sticky tape wrapped around your hand.

looks like bacteria/fungus/moldor even bugs than nutrient related. i recommend spraying them with Neem Oil or some baking soda with a drop of dish soap. removing the bad ones before sprayign and see if they continue appearing after spraying. if you spot any bugs then i would use Neem oil instead of the baking soda/soap. the Neem oil will treat both insects and fungus/mold problems.. one stone two birds.



For the first time ever growing tomatoes, I had blossom end rot. I was growing these in pots -- three Roma tomato plants, a variety I've never grown before. And I was using a fresh bag of Miracle Gro potting mix. I didn't think it would need anything extra added to it, so I just transplanted the tomatoes and waited. I don't think I'll ever grow tomatoes in pots again. They looked horrible until I sprinkled a little 13-13-13 on the surface, figuring I'd just let them dissolve and seep down into the water. That made the plants take off like a rocket and turn a beautiful green color and they no longer have a rot problem. The same thing happened with a friend's tomato plants that I planted using the same potting mix. That wasn't the "Miracle" I had in mind when picking that potting mix.
But I also planted some cowbell cayenne peppers and jalapenos in four clay pots (also in Miracle Gro potting mix -- freshly purchased bag). Little peppers would form and then fall off, and leaves were falling off, too! I didn't think to check to see if the little peppers were rotting, but a couple of cayennes have formed now and I'll be watching those closely.



Nope. Actually they are a bit affected - I am seeing the white powder popping up on leaves here and there, even just a few minutes ago, and with no treatment. The Bell Peppers seem to be a bit less robust than the hotter counterparts. JMO. The impact on the other plants is, currently, minimal compared to the bell peppers

I called the county extension and two of them looked at the pictures and what all I did and said "phytotoxicity" just too much stuff. So I guess it is even coming out of the plant and still depsositing on leaves. Just going to let them be and see if the recover and replace the ones I pulled out with healthy ones.

Sorry but all of those have been left on the vine way too long no matter what variety they are. You can tell by the size of the seed cavity, the size of the seeds and the skin colors. Even the green one which is rapidly turning yellowish. Plus they have been getting inconsistent soil moisture as you can tell from the shape of the green one.
Have you been having very heavy rains or are you watering daily or something?
Pickling cukes should be about the size of the bottom 1/3 of the green one and instead the swollen shapes would seem to indicate far too much water as well as that they are very old.

We did get a whole lot of rain earlier in the season (I live in East Texas and while we had no major flooding right where we are, there was flooding in nearby areas -- perhaps you remember seeing some of it on the news a while back), and now we're really not getting any rain and it's been in the mid to upper 90s. If I don't water every other day, the soil becomes as dry as a bone and the leaves start wilting.
And as I mentioned above, these yellow cucumbers turned yellow VERY quickly after they moved past the tiny green finger sticking out of the vine. They were already yellow when they were the size of a golf ball.

This is the Dow herbicide label that farmers of any language are supposed to understand and follow, since the label is the law. EPA told Dow it was good enough. Methinks they are all wrong. Dow label for aminopyralid

Here is this wonderful stuff. Just don't do what you usually do, and everything will be fine.
One could say, what kind of fools does Dow take us for? On the other hand, what's really going on here is that Dow takes us for smart people who read the instruction manual before we do composting. What? You don't read the instruction manual before you do composting??



Rhubarb plants resent transplanting and will show sluggish growth for as long as two years. You may have noticed the large fleshy roots. You need to allow this plant to recover and allow it to establish deep roots. Then you will see lots of lush foliage follow afterwards.


I also thought all moles are carnivores. This is NOT true! The Townsend's mole will eat your entire root ball killing the plants! http://www.sibr.com/mammals/M016.html


Potatoes are pretty hard to store, many times they will rot, and they can even be toxic if they rot so I wouldn't suggest this. Maybe grow them indoors from the potatoes, following a guide like this: http://vegetableparadise.com/2015/06/17/how-to-grow-a-potato-plant-in-water/ maybe?





You could always grow some vegetables indoors if you want. I've recently been growing a pineapple indoors, here's a guide on how to do this if your interested: http://vegetableparadise.com/2015/06/17/how-to-grow-a-pineapple-from-top/
Jake, your comment is too funny.....
Here's mine. It is outside for now but it will be brought inside in the fall and into a climate controlled room. I am also trying to do the same with avocado, too. I'm on the east end of Long Island and not too many local pineapples or avocados here.
