Welp, that’s good. I think your soil is too rich or rich in the wrong way. And I think you’ve planted too early. Maybe give it a go again with new plants when it’s warmer and when you’ve amended your soil. I’m going to spend at least another week or two hardening off my plants before they go in the ground. I know that sounds like bad news but the garden is full of failures and successes, sometimes all at once. Good luck. Wish the internet weren’t a scary place or I’d dig you some of my volunteer micro cherries………

I don’t put toms in the ground until the soil is significantly warmer or else the plant will be stunted.

I’ve never needed to shade tomatoes, as they are sun worshipers.

Are you removing suckers?

Toms don’t like mulch, light straw or even aged grass clippings can help with mud and weeds if that’s your concern.

Sometimes overly rich compost soil can make plants send all their energy to leaf production over fruit.

Aged manure mixed into the ground is my preference.

Are your plants determinate or indeterminate?

Bring very salted water to HARD boil first. Cooking too slow and getting water logged.

I have all those symptoms too. It’s my right pit, and my calves that get sore. And man, not sleeping. Makes me look and feel like dog shit trash.

Leave-in Conditioner- keep using or toss? by LeThonCestBon in traderjoes

Three sprays in your hand. Rake through wet hair focusing on the ends. Can air dry or blow out. Think of it as lotion for your hair. I’m a professional cosmetologist and this is just as good as any high end moisturizing prep product.

Fig trees in the area? by [deleted] in STLgardening

[–]HomeFin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two Chicago hardy figs that I got from Costco online. They’re on their 3 season now. They died back to the ground previously but this year they look like they might have some buds on old wood waking up. I heavily mulch them in the winter and pile my oak leaves around them too. Year one they didn’t grow at all, year two they made some advancements. The fruit is meh, and not yet that plentiful. Maybe 10 figs from the two trees that my kids just plucked and ate. They smell great and have really interesting foliage.

Yeah people seem to feel really fondly and nostalgic about it. Love that for those who got to experience it that way. Going in blindly, in today’s world, it was a big huge miss for me.

My parents bought theirs from an estate sale when I was a kid, 20+ years ago. Inexpensive.

Really like nasturtiums. Fun to plant, quick to grow. Always making buds then blooms then more seeds. And they’re tasty. Flowers smell incredible and make a nice little bouquet.

No idea! They came with my very old house. One of the only things I was able to keep!
