If need be you can foliar feed a calcium solution through the leaves. Spray the plants down with your nutrient solution.This will get the calcium in the plants quicker. If using chemical nutrients use half or quarter strength. Get the calcium in the ground also at regular strength.

Thanks for the help! I'll forward this too him

If I wanted to plant some veggies for a fall harvest what should I plant? Or is it too late?

You could be successful with peas, carrots and/or lettuce...Most everything else won't be successful...If you can find some squash plants at a nursery, you would probably get some fruit off those as well...

If you have a green house you can all winter long. Or you can try some potted veggies in a sun room. Its never to late.

well I'm going to see what happens.. I did plant some carrots, corn , cucumbers and some radishes...

Has everyone given up on your tomato plants?

Half of mine are brown, tops of them are green, but only one tomato on the plants.

Should I rip them up and plant a fall garden like m5ash?

The majority of mine are okay (but then again, I planted approx. 200), but I did have to rip up some. I do have some that are beginning to produce again. It's probably too late for you to plant new tomato plants, unless you can find some in the store that are already showing blooms and even then, it might not be enough time...

It's really a personal call, but if the lower half aren't green, it's probably best to replace them with something else...

Peas will survive a light frost better than most things, so that might be a viable option for you...

Havent given up on mine, fingers crossed,lol. There still green but they have stopped putting out with all this heat.

We have Rabbits in the Area here , Besides the Obvious how do you keep em out of the garden , They have been eatin my squash

Plant more squash?

I'd probably erect some chicken wire cage things to keep the rabbits out...Or get a dog...I'd suggest a cat, but their urine will kill the plants and make it stink...

1) Chicken or other narrow-spaced wire with the bottom buried about one foot deep. Rabbits can dig.

2) Bird netting.

3) A low voltage electric fence with wires at 1" , 4" , 7" and 12" high.

4) Blood meal or red/black pepper around / on the plants. You'll have to reapply after very rain.

5) Mix habaneros , onions ,garlic, Ivory liquid and water. Strain into your sprayer then spray it on the plants. Be sure and wait a few days before harvesting and wash the veggies really well.

6) Get a cat or a small Terrier .

7) Pellet gun.

I was kinda suprised by the rabbits this year. They chewed down several pepper plants but didn't touch the squash , melons or thornless blackberries. Maybe they're so used to the thorns on the dewberries that they didn't bother. Are you sure it's rabbits ?

Don't know how dog pee affects veggies but I know for a fact that Chow pee will kill a climbing rose pdq.

It will burn them for sure. I could not figure out for the longest what was happening to some plants that should of been fine . Until I seem my dog come by and hike up his leg on them .
Erect a chicken wire fence around the entire garden. A chicken wire fence that encases the entire vegetable garden is probably the most effective, yet labour-intensive way to prevent rabbits from munching the garden down to bare stems. When erecting the fence, remember that rabbits are diggers, so the chicken wire must penetrate the soil level about eight inches deep.
Create chicken wire cages or cloches for individual plants. Roll a piece of chicken wire into a tube, being careful to clip off or trim any sharp edges. Twist one end of the chicken wire tube into a point, creating a cloche. Cloches can be placed around individual plants to protect them from being eaten. Ensure the cage/cloche is installed several inches into the ground, or mound soil around the base.
Sprinkle chili powder around the base of plants. The powder will need to be reapplied following any rainfall.
Use blood meal around plants. A commercially available product such as Plant Skidd, which contains blood meal, can be spread around the base of vegetable plants. It does not have an unpleasant smell to humans, but animals will steer clear of the scent of blood.
Place oven racks around plants. Some vegetable gardeners have reported that placing wire or metal oven racks around the targeted plants in their gardens have helped to prevent rabbits fromhelping themselves to the vegetables growing there. The rabbits reportedly do not like to step among or stand upon the racks, and will look for food elsewhere.
Apply a Liquid Fence� product. Spray one of Liquid Fence�s natural animal repellent products around the edges of vegetable beds. These products are biodegradable, rain-resistant and pet friendly.
Trap and release. Trap rabbits humanely in the garden and release them quickly into a habitat that matches closely that from which they were removed. Ensure that the animals are not left in the trap any longer than is absolutely necessary, and keep them out of extreme heat or cold.
Plant rabbit-resistant perennials. The University of Nebraska, Lincoln, recommends planting rabbit-resistant perennials in areas they frequently visit. Interspersing some of these plants among vegetable plants may help deter them from eating the veggies nearby.
Place branches over small seedlings. Protect small, tender vegetable plants by gently pushing branches into the soil surrounding the plants. The branches should make it too difficult for the rabbits to enjoy the food contained within.
Mix a rabbit repellent tea. Homemade, organic mixtures that can be sprayed onto the surface of plants is often helpful. Place 2 tablespoons of cayenne pepper and 2 tablespoons of garlic powder into a coffee filter and twist it closed. Place this makeshift teabag into a jug or pitcher and pour about 32 ounces of warm water over it. Allow the mixture to steep overnight. It may be preferable to allow the mixture to steep outdoors, as it has a potent smell! Squeeze the filter gently when removing it from the water, being careful not to rip or tear it. Pour the resulting brew into a spray bottle, adding a squirt of dish soap, which allows the spray to adhere to plants� leaves. Spray the concoction liberally onto the plants that are most targeted by rabbits. This mixture will need to be reapplied following a heavy rain.
