Should I pull a plant? (Cucumbers and eggplants)
Comments (4)10 Gallon? What are the measurements on these containers? I've had confusion with sizes, and these look great to me, I'd like something similar. The rule of thumb for lots of people seems to be 5 gallons for one of those plants, and if you have anything less, they will produce slightly smaller or less plants. BUT, if you have two per container, I think it would be enough for a first time gardener to see what happens :)...See Moregrey leaf spot
Comments (7)Well, I'll still go with water stress. In water stress, the tissues farthest from the veins collapse & die. That's what your plant shows. It goes like this: - Overly wet roots are damaged by excess water. - Once that happens, the roots can't keep up with the top's demands. - Cells farthest from the veins collapse and die, creating the tan areas as shown on your leaves. I didn't mention it before, but thanks for posting the images. In any event, stick with an environmental cause because it's definitely not disease....See More1 Tomato plant got early blight should I pull it out
Comments (0)I have 3 tomato plant one beside each other in raised beds and the first one got early blight (many lower leaves infected and some tomatoes have light brown spot on them) but the others seem fine so far so I was wondering if it was logical to pull it out to prevent other tomatoes of catching it too? I have another 10 plants too but in different raised bed next to them. What i read to do to is to remove the lower leaves of my plants, to remove infected leaves and to spray an anti fungal spray (I heard water and baking soda works) does that seem right? If i don't pull out the whole plant should i remove affected tomato fruits as well?...See MoreSad plant (pics)- Should I pull it?
Comments (3)Thanks, Dave. If you say pull it...it's out-a-there!! Septoria was the general consensus when I posted up-close pics of the diseased plants, though I don't have an official diagnosis from an extension/co-op. The disease certainly wrecked the most effected plants. I attempted to save this one since it only had a few spots, but it always remained a bit scraggly (is that a word?) and now has this current issue. It doesn't seem worth it to keep it, but I think I needed an experienced person to tell me to toss a plant with toms on it vs trying to nurse it back to health. My neighbor said that the droppings looked like hornworm droppings. Does that look right? Thanks!...See Moregorbelly
