I think I'm starting to understand this. After the rain yesterday I figured I'd be watering Sunday because the pots felt quite heavy, but nope, I think it will be sooner than that. My 3 oldest have really started drinking quick and I guess draining quick too. I've been thinking I've been overwatering, but with what I'm seeing right now, there's just no way. I've never been quite sure how well my pots are draining, but I'm going to relax with that because I think they're draining fine.I'd be more worried about them drying out more than anything.
Just remember a healthy plant is a thirsty plant. By mid to late July each of mine will be getting 3-4 gallons of water a day and it won't even be close to overwatering them.I think I'm starting to understand this.

hey do you guys spray any antifungal on your tomatoes? Curious because I don’t, but need to…wondering what others use.Thanks and yours will probably be producing long after mine have played out. So there's that too.For ya.
I hate those bastards…it’s like they just piss all over the place…and they’re sly, and quick.Leafhopper’s giving me a hard time but they look good no nutrients View attachment 2683946View attachment 2683947View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683949View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683950
I spray neem oil and bt once a week all grow season. Usually end up hitting my tomatoes at least once a season with something stronger. My biggest problem is blight.She

You talking about grasshoppers? I found and killed my first one of the season the other day.Leafhopper’s giving me a hard time but they look good no nutrients View attachment 2683946View attachment 2683947View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683949View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683950
I haven't. If I ever have an issue it's with early blight and removing and burning those stems affected seems to handle any more spread along with rotation. Haven't had much of a problem this year since we bagged most of them.She

no leaf hoppers are a separate insect,. generally no issue to plants, usually during droughts they suck moisture out of the leaves, leaving groups of tiny dry spots on your leaves,.You talking about grasshoppers? I found and killed my first one of the season the other day.
I've never used an antifungal but if i could find something organic that worked I'd give it a try. But I've always cut and bagged any affected leaves. Sometimes it slows it down pretty well, sometimes not so much.She

I had a run in with them a few weeks ago. But it's been clear since I started a weekly spray, though the frequent rains are probably doing more than spraying.Leafhopper’s giving me a hard time but they look good no nutrients View attachment 2683946View attachment 2683947View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683949View attachment 2683948View attachment 2683950

You've never witnessed what they can do to a alfalfa field. Lika thousand stoned groundhogs with the munchies.no leaf hoppers are a separate insect,. generally no issue to plants, usually during droughts they suck moisture out of the leaves, leaving groups of tiny dry spots on your leaves,.
Ok. I haven't dealt with those where I'm at. Not sure if I've ever even seen one.no leaf hoppers are a separate insect,. generally no issue to plants, usually during droughts they suck moisture out of the leaves, leaving groups of tiny dry spots on your leaves,.
Will do, thanks…Durban mentioned neem too, but I hate the smell of that shit lol.U might look into this.
Diluted isn't so bad, defective! It's a grab and go. Especially if you don't know what to do. All pests hate it. Not a cut to integrity.Will do, thanks…Durban mentioned neem too, but I hate the smell of that shit lol.
