Sprouts Wilted? Captan...Quick!
Comments (27)Sound advise is to be sure your chances of a frost hitting those "babies", is only a very slim one if at all. You can also be prepared to cover them overnight, with sheets, blankets, etc. if that unexpected frost decides to come your way. Up her in MA, we've had crazy weather extremes since I started WS back in 2003. Many times we've had a frost hit when one would never expect it, and even temps that have gone down well below freezing, into the mid 20's in mid May and even had snow flakes falling on May 19-20 in 2005, when my daughter graduated college. I cover my annual seedlings if the temps are going to fall over night, and then get the covers off in the morning when the temps warm up. If I don't do that with the annuals, I know from experience, that I will lose all of them. I still follow the "old farmers time frame" in New England, nothing get's planted that could be lost to a frost or freeze before the original Memorial day, which was May 30th. I've never lost a seedling or plant that was planted from that date on, whether it was WS or store bought, but sure have if they where planted before that date, either WS or store bought. Karen, I've never pulled my lupines when they started to get "ratty looking". I just cut off the ratty looking part and all new growth comes in and many times they will give me a smaller rebloom about a month later, not anywhere near as lush as the first bloom, but it a bloom. Been doing that for quite a few years now and even if the lupin doesn't bloom a second time, it is still lush green foliage that is there all summer.

Comments (3)Hey Ozzy I'm no professional at this but what worked for me and fixed my tomato wilt issue was reduce the nutrient levels and/or adding a few mils per gallon of Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 12% food grade)a day to keep the roots healthy. Also making sure the roots are getting enough oxygen i.e. the nute temp is not too high and your blowing enough bubbles. For blossom end rot I believe adding calcium helps, CalMag. Apparently tomatoes are calcium hungry while fruiting. Again I'm not a professional at this so best get some more opinions. Good luck...See MoreBrussel Sprout and broccoli plant just seemed to wilt suddenly
Comments (0)This morning they appeared to be okay. Now, 5 or 6 hours later, they look like this. Is this from a lack of water, too much water, or something eating them. None of the other broccoli in the bed have this look nor do any of the other brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts are all in separate containers. Today it was humid, but not brutal and the temperature was mid 70s and partially cloudy. I am at a loss as to what makes a seemingly healthy plant just sag down like it is dead within hours. I have noticed no worms, aphids, etc... some leafhoppers and leafminers. I am applying Neem oil on Friday when it arrives. The most I have lost so far is an occassional leaf; that is, until these two plants look like they lost their spine and just collapsed. I was just outside watering them when I noticed this. Any assistance/thoughts is GREATLY appreciated....See MoreSudden wilting in cherry tomato and other tomato plant?
