Will my mums re-bloom this fall?
Comments (3)think of it this way .. they are a fall flowering plant.. so they trigger bloom as the days get shorter ... and right now.. the days are nearly as short as they will be .... so rhiz is suggesting that they will not trigger again.. until the sun starts rising on the horizon .... probably some scientific term for such.. photo-something-or-another ... lol ... i cant think of anything outdoors.. in late november.. in the northern hemisphere .. that is going to rebloom this time of year .... [leaving out the tropical areas, or course.. and the sub tropic deep south] ken...See MoreWonderful Fall Flush for Huntington Roses

Comments (6)Yes, Beth, MILVA is like the energizer bunny, putting out the blooms all season long. They don't really have show form, but its a great rose for the garden and for cutting. I know that about LAVENDER LACE, which is why I have spared it. It was another one of those J&P "Now You See It, Now You Don't" roses. I actually think it should be re-registered as a mini-flora. I'm sure that is not going to happen. When J&P roses disappear, they don't usually return to the market! The shrub is big enough and healthy, but, again, usually the blooms are small for a floribunda. The color is very lovely. Masha, I hope your IMAGINE blooms a lot more than mine. Well, it often takes Heirloom roses a long time to develop....See MoreWhy are the blooms on my tomato plant dying and falling off?
Comments (0)"Blossom-Drop" is a condition suffered by tomatoes, peppers, snap beans, and some other fruiting vegetables where the plant blooms but fails to set fruit, the blooms die and fall off. It may be caused by the use of excess nitrogen fertilizers or dry windy conditions, but the most common cause is temperature extremes. Tomatoes, peppers and beans are especially picky about the air temps when it comes time to set fruit. If the night temps fall below 55 or rise above 75 or if the day temps are above 90, the pollen becomes tacky and non-viable. Pollination cannot occur. If the bloom isn't pollinated, the bloom dies and falls off. Control: Water the plants deeply once a week, mulch heavily to maintain constant soil moisture levels, establish windbreaks as needed, avoid using excessive amounts of nitrogen fertilizers, and wait for temperatures to moderate and stabilize. Earlier timed planting can help attain fruit set prior to the on-set of high temps, and the use of protection can compensate for cool nights. Some recommend attempting hand-pollination with an artist brush or a gentle shaking of the plant/cage/support prior to the hottest part of the day will also help. Fruit set will resume when temperatures moderate. Hormone sprays, such as "Blossom Set", may prevent some blossom drop due to LOW temperatures. However, the resulting fruit are often misshapen. But studies prove that hormone sprays do not prevent blossom drop due to HIGH temperatures....See More- 5 years ago
