Looks like Aphids. Pretty simple control. You can just blast them off with some high pressure water using a pump up sprayer with good results. You can use products like Neem, insecticidal soaps, orange oil, the list goes on. That being said you need to be careful how you use a lot of these products in this heat. Any of the oil and/or soap products need to be used let it set for about 30 minutes then washed off. Do this early in the morning or evening and you wont burn your foliage.
This past Saturday morning I noticed a bunch of squash bug nymphs(never ending battle) I sprayed the plants down good with orange oil and a touch of soap mixture. Did this before the sun was on them. Washed the mixture off real good with water about 30 minutes later. Had dead nymphs everywhere and no foliage burn from the afternoon heat.

My Tycoon production is 1/2 of last years crop. Only 11 to 15 tomatoes per plant this year. My soil was off, is my guess??? I hear the seed companies are discontinuing the Tycoon seed production.

My tycoons arent doing well either. Probably about half the production as well. I rotated the area they were planted in, and prepared the soil identical to last year. I dont know whats going on with them. They were the grand prize winner at the San Antonio rodeo a few years ago, and all the AM radio gardening shows were raving about them as recently as last year.
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

trlrman I think it's you that grows the giant tomatoes. What variety were those? I ordered some Big Zac Hybrid seed. They are supposed to avg 3lb maters with some hitting 4-6lbs. I am going to try them for a fall crop.

Has anyone done blackberries in a pot? Thinking about trying it out. I have access to wild plants I could attempt to transplant. Thoughts?

Trlrman, did you do anything special to the seeds like soaking them ? Or did you just poke and plant?
