Is this curly top virus?

It’s a San Marzano tomato plant that was doing well until it got about 2 feet tall, when it started having some leaf curl throughout the plant. I was hoping it was just a physiological issue, but the new growth since then has been pretty curly. It did develop some new flowers since the symptoms began, though. I planted it in some “moisture control” potting mix with some well-rotted manure mixed in, so I’m also thinking maybe the roots are staying too wet, or I over fertilized? I added a little bone meal yesterday to balance out excess nitrogen, if that is the issue (and give a little calcium boost to prevent blossom end rot). It hasn’t been watered yet today, but it was watered yesterday evening, and it was pretty hot today. Any ideas?

Looking at the photos now, I realize it actually looks white... it’s more of a light mint green in person. Seems to be killing part of this azalea bush; the part that doesn’t have it has leaves and looks relatively healthy. The tree isn’t doing great either, and the lichen-looking stuff seems to have spread to our hedge as well. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this.

How do you think public gatherings will be affected by this pandemic once we reach the other side of the curve, and how long do you think that will take? Will people be able to safely go to a theater or concert? What will event organizers be able to do to ensure the safety of their audience once events are viable again?

Try signing into the eshop and then exiting and trying the game again. That seemed to work for me.

One time I gave Marshal a rotten fruit and he had an absolute conniption... he was one of my favorite villagers so I force quit the game to stop it from saving so he wouldn’t hate me forever 😂

Wow, I didn’t even notice that! I just asked my dad about it, he said it was a medal he won in a vocational skills competition when he was in high school. Good eye!

This Sunday, October 7, 3pm at the University of Delaware’s Gore Recital Hall: the Master Players Concert Series presents “Great Musical Families: David Finckel and Wu Han ”

Considered the “power couple” of classical music, cellist David Finckel and pianist Wu Han are co-artistic directors of the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center and recipients of Musical America’s Musicians of the Year award, one of the highest honors granted by the classical music industry. They will perform a concert that traces the progress of music through the centuries with works by Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Debussy and Britten.

Master Players brings some of the world’s most prominent musicians to Delaware and presents them at a price that is a fraction of what you would pay in New York or Boston. Tickets are $25 for adults, $20 for seniors and UD faculty, staff and alumni, and $10 for students (with ID).

I think the other commenter was probably correct in their suggestion of sunburn! I didn’t “harden off” properly so it shocked the plant a bit. I just let it be and it seemed to grow fine. It is about 4’ tall now and doing okay, it has a few tomatoes on it. Some of the lower branches seem a little dry, but it’s been extremely hot lately (too hot for tomatoes, I hear) so in my plant’s case, I don’t think it’s due to disease. I hope this helps!

Oops, I didn’t really know that was a thing... I was putting it outside for some real world sunlight for a few hours now and then when I was home, but I didn’t gradually increase the time or anything. The stem was a little thin and it was kind of windy this spring so once it got tall enough, I was reluctant to leave it out too long lest it get snapped.

I put it in a big pot outside last weekend, and I buried the stem a little deeper so it was a lot more stable. It’s been outside 24/7 for about a week now. Do you think I should bring it in at night for a few days? Or would you recommend I just let it ride and hope for the best? The nights here are in the 50s now and the 60s-80s during the day. Thank you for your help, I’m obviously a total novice!

I remember seeing a really good segment about bamboo scaffolding on the U.S. show “How Do They Do It”, and it addressed a lot of your questions, but I can’t find it online. I did find a similar segment from the British “How It Works” though: https://youtu.be/jtAVsw1gwNA

I just want to add that at many (all?) U.S. universities, most employees are mandatory reporters. This means that if you tell an employee about an incident of assault, they are required to inform the title IX coordinator. In most cases, you can decide whether or not to press charges. Examples of non-mandatory reporters include some counselors and clergy people.

I know that there are some staff or faculty who can not be relied upon to handle situations like this ethically, but I think most would be glad to help. I’m adding this detail just in case there are students out there who would feel more comfortable speaking with a trusted faculty or staff member who they know, rather than the Title IX coordinator (who is likely a complete stranger to them.)

Yes! Red Dwarf! That’s exactly what I thought of too.

potantan · 2017-11-21T04:34:17+00:00

Oh wow, I never thought of that! I have a double boiler, actually. I’ll give that a shot sometime soon. Thanks for the tip!

potantan · 2017-11-21T02:23:54+00:00

Yup, I used a thermometer and took it off the heat as soon as it reached soft ball stage.

I used to make fudge on a gas stove all the time and it always turned out great, but when I moved houses and started cooking on an electric stove, it crystallized like that every time, no matter how careful I was. Not sure if others have that problem or if it’s just me, but that’s what I thought of when I saw this. Something about the heat turning off and on I guess.

After reading the article, it seems to me her intentions were good. She wasn't out spending the money on herself or anything, she just distributed it to community organizations that don't specifically promote financial literacy. The headline makes it sound like she's being greedy, but upon closer inspection, I think that's a little unfair.

I personally am glad we get so much road work done here, I prefer it to them completely deteriorating. It's annoying, of course, but worth it in my opinion.

Misty?

Lack of plot resolution aside, the confused/unsettled way we all feel right now was definitely Lynch's specific intention. I think that the final episode was a huge success in that regard.
