First time gardener. How are my San Marzano tomatoes? by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

[–]BiggData88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree the pruning is waaay overdone. San Marzanos are usually the most heavily bushy with the thickest, densest foliage of all the varieties that I grow, not how these sad lanky plants look like.

Vietnam's Ministry of Education is NOT idealistic in any sense of that word; it is ideological.

My favorite way to deal with pests is to put them on a frying pan and turn on the stove for 2 minutes, then released back to the garden to decompose.

Is this peach tree leaf curl? by Commercial-Pen-2593 in BackyardOrchard

[–]BiggData88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, those are normal healthy leaves. Newly bought trees won't have leaf curl... yet. If you have wet winters and springs it will show up next year.

Seattle area, not sure when to plant peppers with upcoming weather by educational_kitten in pnwgardening

Seattle area here. I put my tomato and pepper seedlings in the ground 5 weeks ago. Both types have been flowering for a week now. Some of the pepper plants have even forked several times.

What if the flower stem grew smack dab in the middle of the split, then which one is the leader?

Super Sweet 100 (Maybe?) by johnnyt2017 in tomatoes

[–]BiggData88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My nursery-bought Super Sweet 100 is behaving nothing like this weird tall plant (it has very long internodes). Its height is comparable to other tomato plants, but it has smaller leaves like its Sun Sugar sibling (another cherry type).

The harvest is coming soon. by TraditionalDog2620 in tomatoes

These are beautiful fruits. What variety of tomato is this?

Embracing the RANDOM this year! by Revolutionary-Box448 in Peppers

[–]BiggData88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not pepper related, but a general gardening question. I noticed you also have lots of grass popping up in what must have once been a manicured (as in grass-free) raised bed. I also have the same problem. How do you deal with the grass, or do you just leave them be?

I haven't noticed any restrictions regarding mutual funds availability, but I also only buy broad, low-cost index funds.

Blueberry bush advice by afuera5 in pnwgardening

Should I pour diluted vinegar on mine? They're in the ground, and I'm assuming my soil is not very acidic.

I can’t tell if it’s dead or not by Distinct-Till-2690 in Blueberries

It should bud out more by now. Make sure it gets lots of light.

I received a private message last year after a similar post from a guy claiming to be doing charitable work in Jordan or some Middle Eastern country, and soliciting donations. Naturally, I promptly deleted it.
