I mistakenly thought that Early Girl was nematode resistant, only now I discover only the bush variety and I planted the indeterminate variety. No wonder the size dropped off dramatically. I'm peeved that some local nurseries do not state disease resistance on the label. The staff generally is not knowledgeable about local issues. I only have 2 beds with enough sun for tomatoes and replacing the soil is just too much right now. Container gardening and throwing away soil is starting to look like a better option. Planting winter veggies soon in this spot.

You may need to use your cell phone before you check out if the nursery isn't up to snuff on knowledge.
That's a real bummer.

I have gone almost exclusively to containers, I sit on austin chalk, so almost no soil, springs are wet, followed by parched hot dry summer and indeterminate fall, so moving pots around are my only viable option.

@CrazyQuilter I use a lott of muck buckets and large totes, I drill a hole about 4 inches above the bottom so that the early spring rains will drain , but it will hold water, then I fill to just above that line with landscaping bark mix (about dime sized and smaller pieces. Them my compost mix above that. The bottom holes in most pots allow them to dry out way to quickly in summer months (May-Sept)

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.

Posted by 1patriotOne of the main reasons for last year’s ‘spike’, which the media and government agencies have avoided mentioning, is the Hunga Tonga volcano eruption two years ago.
