Barb, Not sure about the blueberries and zucchini, but the tomatoes can be planted deep and they will be just fine. You can prune off the lower leaves and branches and bury them to within a few inches of the top of the plant. They will develop roots all along the buried stem. This is how I plant all my tomato transplants and they do very well.

Oh Boy.. You finally got MITES????! Congrats...lol Seriously. There was sone good suggestions here.. Thsi is what I do and I have yet to have a spider mite issue in my greenhouse, although that is not to say I don't have at least one mite in there.. In fact, when containing any kind of plant in any confined area, that is the chance we take and in fact quite common. Personally I thing every one of us folks that grows indoors has at least one pest or two. The key is to accept it, not to panic, never be disappointed if you think you rid them all and see on again, keep on top of them, never letting them take control, and prevention. I always keep a fan circulating the air in mine. I use a spray bottle, you know, the kind you spray pesticde out of, the big pump ones and spray my plants early in the a.m as frequent as possible. It keeps the air humid in there all day, keep the plants clean and discourages any pests.. The fan prevent disease problems and allows me to use water this way. I would not use all that Neem..It will eventually suffocate your plants if you use too much too often, including buds and new growth. I would use a good horticultural oil in a spray end bottle or one that attaches to a hose. Why don't you drain your hose so it won't freeze up or keep it stored inside until you use it again? That is what I do. I always have access to a hose even when it's below 0 Too, keep the area clean of debris and dead leaves, especially on the floor and on the shelves..I would also spay your pots and all surrounding area.. You should be able to fight this with ease//to be honest, i would rather have mite than scale or mealy.. Hopefully you have gained some good ideas from us here... P.s..Find a way to consistently spray down your leaves with water and keep a fan going..This alone will help prevent many issues! Mike

The chicken wire is an interesting thought and may be worth a try. I found another branch chewed off yesterday on one of the plants I didn't cover with netting (I ran out). It rained yesterday morning and the night before, which I had hoped would deter the determined little buggers, but apparently not. In desperation, I bought some hot pepper wax spray yesterday. I thought that it might at least be a bit better than sprinkling cayenne pepper around the plants, since they can't inhale the powder up their noses. I have heard that blood meal is a good deterrent but have also heard others say that it didn't work for them. My neighbor is fertilizing organically, though I am unsure what he is using. He says that he is not having trouble with the squirrels this year, but he has in the past. I think it's because they have found my plants...they are coming from a hole dug underneath the fence from his yard into mine!!! I would block it up, but it is likely a waste of time, since they can either make a new one or climb right over the fence. Oh, and bdobs....my teenager should be afraid...very afraid...but I'm certainly not telling him that! :) I'll cross my fingers on the pepper spray, get some more netting, and perhaps buy some chicken wire and blood meal. I think I will end up spending more money on squirrel and rabbit protection than anything else!

Here you go susan: Garmin approach gps golf watch S1 Approach S1 combines a high-sensitivity GPS receiver with a lightweight, flexible sport watch. It is ready to go right out of the box with thousands of preloaded courses covering the U.S. or Canada. You can measure individual shot distances and track how far you walk on the course. Approach S1 will have you dialed in like a pro by providing yardages to the front, back and middle of the green. The sunlight-viewable screen features large numbering for at-a-glance visibility. S1 also measures precise yardages for shots played from anywhere on the course. And for those who like to walk, thereâÂÂs the S1 odometer to tell you how far you traveled on the course or off. I bought this for someone I have been doing business with for almost 30 years. He's done so much, I just wanted to give him something special. And I'm glad I did.
