Comments (41)"Oh, 'Starting from Scratch,' book..thank you. Once some woman emailed, 'few yrs ago,' asking me to fax 79 pages to her. I told her I didn't own a fax machine..she then asked me to 'TYPE THEM OUT.' lol..Yes, ma'am, right away.." Hey, I'll take a copy of that! You're about finished right? Holy ___! Sweet potatoes, I read about that retardant spray after I had potatoes in the ground. Maybe they were local and it wasn't used or one of those dumb luck things that work when people don't know it's not supposed to. I just cut 2 potatoes in half and buried the pieces a few inches down. They grew vines all summer, and we dug up the potatoes when frost killed the foliage. Yum! About 25 potatoes last fall, and what will come from what's grown back this year is yet unknown. Not bad for a few minutes' work and the cost of only 2. Thanks for the kind words, but I don't put up pics of the failures. There are definitely some. I just do so many, I end up with plenty of successes. That's my fav thing to do with plants, chopping them into pieces and watching them grow back. The eyes are where the foliage sprouts out, the black holes. It takes a very small amount of the inside attached to the eye on the peel to start growing more potatoes. The spot we call veggie patch is for ugly/unruly plants like sweet potato, tomato, zucchini, cantaloupe. But all around with the flowers and Coleus I have peppers, Basil, sometimes a broccoli, lettuce, spinach, okra, onion, garlic, the other experiments I mentioned before. I want some purple eggplant plants next year, and purple cabbage. Tried swiss chard seeds but it was too dry where I put them. Veggie seeds are cheap, worth trying where there's a spot. When you want to pick a tomato that's as big as possible but still green, you notice way too much about how they ripen. Between green and red, they are white for a time. The immature seeds are too wet, gelatinous for frying *as well* when they go from white to green. In case anyone wants to copy/paste: Gramma's: Slice green tomatoes fairly thin, usually 5-6 slices per slightly-smaller-than-tennis-ball-size. Moisten slices in water, then coat with: mixed: 8 parts flour, 1 part sugar, some salt/pepper Fry in oil, flip when medium-going-on-dark-brown. Drain on paper towel & eat plain, on a sandwich, or dipped in something, like ranch, spicy ranch, or remolaude sauce! Where I'm at lately (this does 2 tomatoes): bowl 1: plain flour bowl 2: 1 egg, 1 Tbs water, 1 Tbs spicy or buffalo ranch, 1 Tbs regular ranch, dash worcestershire sauce, dash hot sauce, few taps of coriander, couple pinches dry chopped rosemary, pinch of garlic powder. I don't measure anything, but that should be pretty close. Put slices in bowl 1, then 2, back to 1, then fry, same as above. You can also add crushed corn flakes to bowl 1 if you have the time and like a crunchy breading. This is making me hungry!......See MoreBonide 3 in 1 spray - organic I think
Comments (1)Neem oil is the active ingredient in this product. Bonide makes some products that are very effective against blackspot in NJ. Neem oil isn't one of them. As others have mentioned, Bayer Advanced Disease Control for Roses, Flowers, and Shrubs (Lowes should have it) is the fungicide of choice for many of those who treat with a fungicide. That product should be effective in NJ if used as directed on the label....See MoreGardens Alive! Shield All 11.. question
Comments (3)Define the anthracnose. Discula, the dreaded dogwood anthracnose? or spot anthracnose? In both cases no. From my experience neem provided no control for spot anthracnose. In fact, dogwoods not treated did not get spot anthracnose as bad. Regardless, I wouldn't do anything for spot anthracnose at this point except discarding fallen leaves this fall. Cover sprays will help in the spring, especially if it's wet, but otherwise damage is cosmetic. Also, if it's spot anthracnose, chances are the tree had it previously this season....See More- 8 years ago
