I cant see the tomato plant very well but tomatoes, especially young ones are WAY sensitive to chemical anything. Just the drift of herbicide or in your case, perhaps pesticide can damage them. I have had my seedlings damaged when someone, some neighbor sprayed. If its a light dose, they will usually outgrow it. If heavy they will put out gnarly and/or spindly growth for a long time.

That why my outdoor feral cats have become indoor pets. I had a feral cat show up, then show up with a kitten, then she had another litter and that litter had litters and suddenly my yard was full of cats...i didn't mind as when i was a kid outdoor cats kept the rats away. But then cats and kittens started disappearing. At first i thought oh someone else in the neighborhood likely had caught it and is taming it down(we have quite a few cat fostering families in the neighborhood) but then one night i saw the silhouette of a coyote over in the yard next to us. I tried to borrow traps from my vet but they were old and a waste of time. I found a local organization that brought me a few traps but they only gave me one day to trap what i could. So i ordered a trap from amazon and got all the cats i could trap...some disappeared during the trapping, one disappeared but came back injured two weeks later...got him trapped. Since bringing all the cats in i have not seen any coyotes. But i know if i put the cats back out the coyotes will be back. i would like to build a cat run outside so the cats could spend some time playing outside as some of them are very high energy tho others not so much but i am not sure how to go about it and of course there is the cost. i do not like coyotes.

Hi Sandy, Christine has hit a potential issue for you to investigate. I have observed rust on my cannas before and I have seen perfectly round brilliant orange, fuzzy, specks, particularly on the backs of the leaves. As the rust grows and spreads the leaves get those lesions, which cause tissue necrosis in the leaf and it eventually dies, usually spreading from the base of the plant upwards. I found this publication online: https://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/oc/freepubs/pdf/PD-96.pdf I am not completely certain if thats what's going on. I am new to growing cannas. I feel like cultural practices (like irregular watering) can make the leaves look rough, however rust has that distinctive bright orange speck, in small numbers at first and then growing in number and the leaf dies eventually. I have seen rust on stems at the base of the plant also. I have not lost plants to rust, however from what I have read it is possible. I have a copper based fungicide for treating for rust and the occasional black spot susceptible rose that I have lingering in my collection (almost all of my roses are no-spray and extremely disease resistant, however I have held onto a couple of wimpy favorites). I remove and discard the leaves also (in the trash-not compost pile) and keep scissors disinfected to keep from spreading it from one canna to another. Good luck! Nicole

just wanted to give an update! thank you all for your help! had a friend help put up some sheer curtains and the shelf on the other side of the room. the couch is still a futon, but I did buy it a heavy cover for the time being. it's frustrating because I have to smooth the wrinkles out of it and adjust it a lot, but at least it's better than the sheet. there is a blue chair in the corner i'll post another picture of. it was $20 at a yard sale. I'm not sure if I should keep it around or not, or look for something different. I have another one but they're too big and awkwardly shaped to fit 2 in the room. still working on getting things up on the walls...I need a better drill. I'm still frustrated with it "feeling" cluttered and not as clean as before though, and still pretty college student-y if anyone has suggestions!
