Hi, if your tomatoes are laying on the ground then that's not good. Rot is common in those conditions. If they're not on the ground then you're experiencing Blossom End Rot. This is common early in the fruiting period and usually clears up. Try to adjust your watering so it penetrates deeply and don't water so often. Use some kind of mulch to retain moisture at a constant level. Don't fertilize again until the BER departs. You'll be told that this is a calcium problem but don't add any at this time. You should be fine. Best of Luck.

If you do have it, the cooking is easy. One or two days before 1. Set the table the day before. Get all serving pieces and utensils ready, for each dish. Put them out. Napkins, glasses, stemware and decor if applicable, daughter's stuff. salt/pepper/condiments. Guests won't feel deprived if they dont have pickles(unless it's that strange person....) 2. Clear an area to serve dessert, even if plating in the kitchen. Keep dessert area near the coffee/tea area. Serving pieces and plates ready. Have coffee/tea making stuff ready, near the dessert area. Have sugar and creamer bowls ready for service. Use lemons? have a plate/knife, have it out. Dessert teaspoons/forks? put them out here. 3. Disposables are fine in my book. Fifty years ago I used sterling, china and crystal. Then silverplate. Then various potteries and stoneware with stainless utensils. Wood, chrome, stainless, etc serving pieces. Now I use disposables for appet and desserts, and I don't give a hoot. (70 yrs old now) And I love tablescaping. I have a ton of stuff. Very personal here. If you only have energy or desire for disposables, don't be affected by critical snobs. I love good stuff, but I love good people more-and I surely care more about the people. 4. I roast a turkey breast and dark meat pieces. Everyone's favorites. Use the time guides on the packaged turkey and/or in reliable books or reliable on line sources. 5. I don't stuff the turkey anymore but do stuffing in a casserole/or baking pan. No toxins from turkey juices-which can be simulated, taste-wise, by butter, stock, water and spices. Not the toxins! Packaged stuffing stuff is great. If you add celery/onions/nuts/family faves/ cut the celery/onions, etc the day before-which is two days before tg? Wrap in cheap fold over sandwich bags, double wrapped to contain smells. The single most important roadblock to a successful tg day, is an inadequately defrosted turkey. This has been mentioned often before. Depending on size, at least, three,four or five days of defrosting. You can't do anything with a partially frozen turkey. Keep it simple, less sides. Not 4 cranberry recipes to keep everyone happy. Guests will love 7 starches, but will respect 3 plant dishes. What do you want, love or respect. Well, that's pretty drastic, No, hunnybun, no need to choose between love and respect. I am getting crazed. To be continued.

that might be a bit tricky as Im not sure how to do that.!!!Yes you guessed it.Im an elderly ish person with a laptop and no real idea.Thank you for the speedy reply though The green house is really like a summer house with solid stone walls ,one side is the back of our garage and opposite is the double door with good sized windows on either side.The soil is what was in the pot when I was given the tree as a present and it has been fed through the summer ,again according to the instructions on the container.There are no signs of disease or anything untoward on the leaves.They seem to dry .There is lots of fruit which seem to be maturing ok.A few of the lemons are about the size of an egg,a large egg.Thank you for your response Regards Polly Reynolds

You did all the right things, and the important thing is whether the roots and canes survived, not necessarily if the new growth survived. The roses can handle losing or drying out of the new growth because it's tender, and it's possible to get past the mold if it hasn't damaged the canes themselves. Do pull off any moldy foliage and watch the canes for signs of canker or cane blight, which would be large black patches that start circling or extending down the cane. You can still cut below the canker and the rose can survive, but with the mold and moisture issues you want to pay attention to them for a while. Bottom line is that you're right to check back with the company and see what they can do to compensate, but it doesn't necessarily mean the roses are dead. Bare root roses can be resilient, it just depends on how dry the roots got in transition and how well they've retained some healthy roots to support the cane growth. Sympathies on the damaged roses though - you're right to be frustrated. Cynthia
