BYC gardening thread!!

Need suggestions---all ideas welcome.....

need a tomato cage for a 2 foot determinate
how to cover in red plastic wrap???? Who knows of a source of red plastic that is clearish??
.
Saw red platic water walls but croaked at the price of $21 for 3 without shipping.

Trying to set out tomatos early but also survivie the wonky up -downs of New England weather. No greenhouse yet..maybe next year.

Why not keep them in a bit longer? Bend the stems over so they develop a more vigorous root system, and keep doing that, along with foliar feeding. They they do make it into the ground, they will take off. I like the idea of using tomato cages as a low tunnel. I'd also consider laying black plastic for heat, as well as using jugs to stave off the cold. It's north Idaho, so I'll keep my tomatoes inside for at least another four weeks.

Lettuce, strawberries, sweetpeas, bing cherries, thornless blackberries and wisterias.

Does anyone have a plum trees? And if so do you spray them for worms? I have few plum trees, last year one of them had a lot of plums but all of them had worms

I am not a big fan of spraying chemicals on my plants, but maybe you have some home made solutions that really will work on the nasty pests ? I loooooove plums and I would like to eat them this year myself and not to share them with worms

I have plums, mine haven't really fruited, they put on flowers but they all drop off

I grow garlic around mine, thats supposed to keep most bad bugs away, you can also make garlic spray but I haven't had the chance to try that yet.
