Anyone need some water hyacinth plants for their pond? I need to thin my pond a bit and hate to throw them away. They multiply vigorously, and provide a nice cover for fish. Please respond here if interested.

Hey neighbors!
We have more cucumbers and hot banana peppers than we can eat. I'll be
putting a bag of them on my front porch. Feel free to take whatever
you'd like!

Great info, Vanessa: thanks! I've read that tomato blossoms won't set fruit if night temps are above 70° and/or days over 90°. So it makes sense that temperatures would also affect the maturation rate.

The problem with my tomatoes is they are not rippening - not turning red. They are large and there is a ton of them. Can anyone help me?

I second this question- I'm having the same issue. Lots of big green
tomatoes, that have been on the plants for weeks.

Thanks - hopefully the cooler weather will help. I'll try the bananas too.
As for the squirrels, we too have a problem. They chewed through the netting I put up.
Good luck with your tomatoes!

I've noticed some of my tomato plants have not been doing so well. It
may be due to the "late blight."

NC scientists warn of early tomato blight
Posted: 8:21 a.m. today
Updated: 8:41 a.m. today
RALEIGH, N.C. &mdashNorth Carolina scientists say unusual reports of a
tomato-killing fungus could be the result of an abnormally hot spring.
North Carolina State University researchers say a form of blight has
been found on tomatoes in two eastern counties — Northampton and Sampson.
The variant "late blight" was found earlier than usual in the growing
season. It can also infect vegetables. The fungus is best known for
causing the Irish Potato Famine in the 1800s during which one million
people died and one million more left Ireland.
Scientists say most commercial farmers are aware of the fungus, but
local farmers and community gardeners might want to apply fungicides to
their crops or consider early harvests. The scientists say another
alternative is to grow genetically engineered, blight-resistant tomatoes.

Four pots of black eyed Susan seedlings on my porch for the taking (on
the little table to the right of the door). Seedlings range from 1”-6”
so they might not produce blooms this year but if planted in a sunny
spot they will do well. They will spread!!! (how do you think I got so
many seedlings? ;)
Take all you can use, I can always pull more up.

I have a couple of roma tomatoes and about 2 pepper plants in black sprouting containers I don't have pots or space for them. They are free to whomever wants them. The peppers need to be planted soon and are looking a little sad. But I'm sure they are salvageable.

they are by the front door to the left. In small black plastic sprouting containers.

Spotted these squash bug nymphs on my clematis vine this morning. Also caught the squash vine borer hovering on my zukes yesterday.
Further inspection led to tiny red brown poppy seed size eggs deposited one at a time on the leaves, flowers and stems. So much for ashes surrounding the soil, SVB will just move up the plant. Easy to remove but hard to see. It takes about a week to hatch, so remove them if you can see'em.
