Brown hole in the fruit? You can put out Sevin dust if you're not trying to be organic (just remember to wash the fruit when you pick it before eating)...The tomato will still be good to eat, you'll just need to cut out the brown area (and if you find a worm when slicing it, I'd throw it out...

Now if it's brown on the bottom, that's another problem entirely...

It's brown on the fruit, not on the bottom. It's a brown hole, maybe a 1/4" to 1/2" deep in the fruit, about a 1/4" in diameter. Do I just sprinkle the Sevin Dust around the base of the plant or on the leaves? Thansk for your help.

I just sprinkle it on the leaves and around the plant...I primarily use it for squash bugs, but have used it in the past for tomato pests...

Is it possible that I have to water more than usual because of my raised beds. You talkin 10 seconds per plant every morning?

I'm using something like this...

Congrats on the taters. I'm gonna have to dump my container soon!

I have something similar, it's a 2 gallon watering pot, that I use for my plants in a larger flower bed...It is raised as well, and 10 seconds does seem to be about right...Part of it also depends on how compacted the soil around the plant is. It is VERY important to aerate the ground so the roots can get the water...I hoe my rows at least once per week...

I prefer being lied to...Honesty is overrated...

Well anyways , check out this site for a quick exact report of whats happening in your soil. I got the results in a week and for 15 dollars the soil is tested for PH and macro nutrients and micro nutrients. If the PH is not what your plants are recommended to have you can have all the nutes in the world and the plants wont feed. The PH testers at the local nursery are junk and not accurate.

Thanks for the link. I've been wondering what some of the procedures are for testing soil. I know I can do pH at work and possibly more.

I'm new to this forum. I just skimmed some of the most recent posts. It'll take your squash awhile to start making reak fruit. I'll pick some tomorrow. The brown on the bottom of the tomatoes could be blossom end rot. Nothing you can do about it this year. Your red potatoes will die out and quit growing around the end of May.

Here's a picture of vegetables from my last years garden;

Get a flash light and go out after dark. You'll find them. When you do, well..... You'll know what to do. Good luck.

I have a very large bush covered in aphids, and it is about fifteen feet from my garden! YIKES>>. What is best to kill them with that wont kill the bush? any ideas?

I tried that soap stuff last year, and it didn't work too good. Liquid Sevin did though.

What do all you guys do with all your yellow squash, and zucchini when it comes in?
