ENTRY # SEVENTEEN HUNDRED & EIGHTY ONE.

Good Morning.
.
Time is so precious-do not waste it.
.
I am going to start this day off with our daily thought.
.
" Charity suffereth long and is kind, charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up."
.
and this--
.
" And now abideth faith, hope, charity these three, but the greates of these is charity."
.
This thought taken from !st Corinthians chapter 13, verses 4 & 13
.

From Andy:

.
“I have 2 old German’s planted for about 40 days, they are approx 3′ tall , look healthy as can be BUT the buds stem and all wilt and drop off? The leaves around them wilt also, any suggestions?”
Hello Andy. If it was just the blossoms I would be inclined to saythat it was a case of blossom drop, but it sounds like something else when the leaves are wilting too.
Have you noticed any spots or discolorations on the wilting parts?
There are some wilts that can affect tomato plants, but most have ringsor spots of some kind, along with abnormal colors.
Check out this article about Tomato Wilt Problems from the University of Tennessee Extension service. If none of those match, send us a picture so we can see what’s going on a bit better. I hope it clears up soon!

Dear Dad and Ms. Mary:

I know you're both happy today -- who wouldn't be, with such a fine crop of 'maters? ;) It's windy at your place, I see, and your garden looks beautiful as always. Your Thoughts For The Day are good ones and we can all apply them in our own lives. Have a wonderful afternoon and evening! Love, Jamaka and fams
