I only have pesticide ridden banana peels, but I wash them before handing them over to little hands....hoping that removes most of the residue. Think they are OK to put down?<br /><br />The cukes are so spiny, do those soften with pickling? <br /><br />I do spend too much time on this blog some days, lol. Mostly I do it at night and occasionally I just neglect the children. 8) It has been really fun for me and a great way to keep track of the garden and recipes. The best part is meeting people like you along the way!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058555775154932842.post-53559164254361010722009-07-11T21:42:10.421-04:002009-07-11T21:42:10.421-04:00Hey Girl - tomatoes hate cold weather and you are ...Hey Girl - tomatoes hate cold weather and you are for sure seeing them complain - put organic banana peels and crushed egg shells on the ground right around the plants - the added nutrients will help - for the weather you have been having your plants look great. Perfect conditions for berries, enjoy next year it might be too hot for a bumper crop. I pick those cukes before they turn yellow, that said, my son likes pickles this size best! I love this blog, beautiful perfection, how do you find the time? peace for allRuth Trowbridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02504906924681540699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058555775154932842.post-53489564969487011212009-07-10T11:50:07.678-04:002009-07-10T11:50:07.678-04:00Well that would be great news!

Luckily these are in containers so if turns out to be blight I am hoping to keep it contained, a bit unrealistic I know- that is if the spraying works. Tough with all the rain to wash it away.<br /><br />Enjoy the rest of your hiatus and your 80 degree weather!!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06457953816169352495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2058555775154932842.post-83038963637232642232009-07-10T11:41:59.086-04:002009-07-10T11:41:59.086-04:00Wow, I know what you mean about the weather...wier...Wow, I know what you mean about the weather...wierd here, too! It's usually in the upper 90's from the end of June - Sep, but we have been enjoying lower 80's with no humidity most of the summer! While I can't complain about that, my tomatoes are taking forever to mature!! I am hoping to post this weekend, and be done with my "hiatus"...hubby is leaving again in two weeks so we had so much to do and blogging is the thing that fell by the wayside, lol! I hope it's not blight on your tomatoes, that junk lives in the soil for a long time...I thought mine was too, but turned out to be too much rain and washed my nutrients away...Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06916896512933101955noreply@blogger.com
