Every time I type in the security word, it <br />takes me back to the screen for my UserID and Password. I refuse to type them <br />in another time. Here's my comment...<br /><br /><br /><br />Tomato -<br />1) Peat Moss acidifies the soil - good if you're mixing it with our local soils <br />which are quite alkaline. No nitrogen there. Your plant needs fertilizer. <br />Urine is cheap and you don't have to drive anywhere to get it. Dilute it with <br />water and put it on the soil, rather than directly on the plant.<br />2) I don't see a white film or spots on the plant. Did you spray it with the <br />cornstarch & water mixture I gave you to reduce evaporation and help protect it <br />from sun and wind?<br />3) Did you plant it near the bottom of the container and put soil around the <br />majority of the stem to promote root growth?<br /><br />Fires & Smoke - <br />Our smoke is coming from fires in Mexico. Take a look at <a href="http://www.firedetect.noaa.gov/viewer.htm" rel="nofollow"> the NOAA viewer </a> , zoom <br />in on the Big Bend area and make sure you have selected the layers for Parks - <br />State and National, the layer for County Boundaries and the layer for Analyzed <br />Smoke from Satellites (Dense). You'll be able to see the red dots showing <br />fires in mexico and the purplish colored area of the smoke plume all around us.<br /><br />Health -<br />Hope you're feeling better soon! If all goes as planned I should be heading to <br />Midland this coming weekend. Let me know if you need a ride to Odessa. End Quote</b><br /><br />(1) It has some Miracle Grow in it and that has fertilizer in it. No Pee on or around my tomato plants! I pee on the bushes and grass around here all the time and they still look dead.<br /><br />(2) No I'm too lazy or haven't felt like messing with it.<br /><br />(3) I buried it deep enough that there shouldn't be a problem. Like I've always done with tomato plants.<br /><br />Fires? Well I guess that explains it, but they sure are screwing us up here.<br /><br />Trip to Odessa? I may have a ride in to Alpine and if I do then I plan to get a temporary permit to drive the Pickup to Odessa and will stay there for a while to try and get it fixed up, inspected and registered in my name so I can start driving it.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-6922990684164604232011-06-14T12:24:12.697-05:002011-06-14T12:24:12.697-05:00Frann, it is setting on the ground so maybe one of...Frann, it is setting on the ground so maybe one of the coyotes will hike a leg on it and we'll never know.<br /><br />DD, I don't look good when I'm not sick so you can imagine what I look like now.<br /><br />HJ, yep not any fun at all with the heat to go with it and now the smoke to.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-8967253898486325782011-06-14T11:56:44.669-05:002011-06-14T11:56:44.669-05:00Sorry to hear about the feeling bad!

The way I mixed the soil was about 50% peat moss, 40 percent generic potting soil and 10% Miracle Grow.<br /><br />I'll pass on the urine idea.tffnguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830558433596399955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-7999699838582432612011-06-14T10:10:52.140-05:002011-06-14T10:10:52.140-05:00tffnguy - Oh, hope you feel better soon.

The heat getting to you?<br /><br />Looks like your early Bird may have a nitrogen deficiency - relieve yourself of some water ( :-) ) and that should help. Say every 10 days for 10 seconds LOL Apparently, tomatoes love an occasional dose of urine. Wouldn't eat that one that's growing on the plant for 3 weeks though...Danihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04020970904311512357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051650307488354823.post-80437236777810953432011-06-14T09:23:22.748-05:002011-06-14T09:23:22.748-05:00Just got a news bulletin saying...
