    Tomato blossom end rot

    Thanks for all the tips! I never thought about tums, duh! It seems to be mainly on the tomatos closest to the top of the plants, could that be an indicator that it may just be to little water here? It has been extremely hot and dry for several weeks. We've been watering frequently, but...

    First spring for herb garden

    Hi, new member. We planted an herb garden in a reclaimed flower bed last year and it did great. We planted basil, thyme, rosemary, oregano and purple sage. What a great addition to the garden, I can't believe we never had one before this! I know the basil will not come back, and we have...
