Reader Questions: Problems With Yellow Leaves on Tomatoes
.
By Vanessa Richins
..
As tomato season gets into full swing, problems start to crop up.
This week we have 2 questions dealing with yellow leaves.
.
“Hi, I planted my tomatoes & tomatillo’s about two weeks ago. I added compost and coffee grounds when I dug the holes. I have given them deep water a few times and it also rained a bit.
They plants were really healthy and I can’t see any evidence of bugs. I did get all the plants accept for one at the same nursery. I am worried they may have something I can’t fix, and need to know what it is in case I need new plants. Thanks.”

I love holiday's that give us a little time off to settle down and get our thoughts going in the right direction. But this last one was just a little long for me. I am glad that it is over. Now we can get back doing the things that we love too do. I miss hearing from you during the holidays. So welcome back to Dad's Tomato Garden.
.
Early in the month of June Mary and I are planing on a little trip that we have wanted to do for a long time. We are going to visit Kelly down in N. Georgia. I am sure that many of you know Kelly. She is the one that writes this blog below showing us some very beautiful chickens. We know that we are going to enjoy this visit and we hope to bring back some good pictures and we might even talk Kelly into making a Video that we could show you.

.
We would like to vist more of you but we do not know right now if that will be possible. Why don't some of you visit us this summer when you are visiting the smokies. We will let you taste some of the best maters that you haver tasted. DAD.
.
Her is my thought for today.
.
" Brethern, I count not myself to have apprehended; but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before."
.
This is taken from Philippians chapter 3 verse 13, words of Paul. This chapter is our bible study for this wednesday, Dad.
.
I feel like that it is time for me to stop, I have said enough. And also my coffe cup is empty and I am going to have to get another cup. When Mary is here in the office she does that for me, but she has not come in yet this morning.
.
I do want too come back in the morning. And I will if I am able to get here. I hope that all goes well for all of you today. Smile and be Happy if that is possible today, Things are going to be better than we think for this day. You just wait and see.

We did a lot of work on Saturday, got all the mulch spread and all the cages in place. Now we can sit back for a few weeks and dream about eating a big red ripe tomato.
.
If you have the time I hope that you will view my two Cams # 1 and 2. And look the tomato garden over from the two different views, and see if you can see the work that we have done. The link to these cams is in the side panel.
.
We are still enjoying warm weather, starting off this Monday morning at 3 A.M. the tempeature is 67 with a high of around 80 expected. It does mention showers in the afternoon. Sinc I have the tomato garden in good shape and all the weeds gone a good showere would not be bad. Anything that is good for the tomatoes pleases me.

September is a great time to visit Washington state.
That’s when Martin and Jennifer Ringhofer host TomatoFare.
The event was started as a way to revive tourism in the Soap Lake area.
Martin Ringhofer had started growing heirloom tomatoes after a serious illness. He felt that promoting the heirloom tomato would be a good way to leave his mark on the world.
As the website tells the story, “To further that goal, Ringhofer offered 900 free diverse heirloom tomato plants to gardeners in and around Soap Lake. His experience is that with proper fertilizer and water in the hot, arid environment around the lake, 36 plants can produce about 1,200 pounds of Read the rest of this entry »

Since this is Memorial Day I had planned to have a real short Entry. But when I get to talking about tomatoes it's hard for me too stop, but I am going to0 and talk about a hot cup of Tea or Starbucks coffee. It is all ready so stop in any time today. If you have time we will walk down to the garden. Dad.
.
Here is my thoughts for this Monday morning.
.
" A good memory is fine....but the ability to forget is the true test of greatness."
..
" You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts."
..
" A minute of thought is worth more than an hour of talk."
.

.
This is all for today. I am going to try and be back in the morning. I have just a little to do outside today like feeding the birds and keeping that bird bath running to please those birds.
.
There is lots that I have missed here this morning, but please use my side pannel for what you do not find here. Smile and be content with your lot today, We all do have a lot to be thankful for if we will just take time to look around us. Love to all of you all around the globe.

When I was attending community college, my favorite class was Italian Cooking.
A friend from high school happened to sign up for the same class, and we had many adventures together, whether it was a hand mixer that sparked or accidentally using up all of the good Parmesan.
Since then I’ve been fond of trying as many different Italian foods as possible. The day that a little Italian deli opened near my house. I’ve spent as much as $26/pound for a good imported Italian cheese.
The inspiration for this sandwich comes from my local airport, of all places. While I was waiting for a plane, I decided to grab a sandwich at Granato’s. The result was simple but delicious.
Ingredients:
1 small ciabatta (an Italian bread often used to make sandwiches)
1 tomato (homegrown beefsteak is best)

The weather is a very important subject for me these days. And it could not have pleased me any better than it has. This Friday morning at 3 A.M. the tempeature was 64 with a high of 82 expected. And listen too this plenty of Sun Shine. Watch them maters grow.
.
And now a little about the tomatoes, as you know Cam 1 & 2 are bothing looking at the garden from different sides, So you can get a better view. And remember that these plants were set out on April the 24, just about one month ago. You will begin to see a lot mors growth from here on in to tomato eating time. Smile.
'I have checked all three Cams and for the moment they are working fine, I hope that will be true for the day. Remember the side panel for all the links.
.
When it gets day light here in The Tenness Valley I think that we should slip up to the Eagle Web Cam and see what is going on. It is begining to get very interesting. I got to see them a lot yesterday and I hope that you can see them today.

I hope that you will not lock me out in the morning, I do want to come back for a little visit with you. I am going to be busy outside today. That is all. Except be sure and smile.

"Oh how America loves the tomato. The aroma of the vine, sweetness of the flesh, and juicy acidity spur between 25 and 40 million of us to grow tomatoes in gardens, containers, and window boxes each year. There are few greater pleasures than a just-picked ripe, red tomato still warm from the summer sun, or a basket of juicy heirloom tomatoes from your farmers' market.More than any other fruit or vegetable, the tomato has changed the face of modern cuisine. Whether you toss chopped tomatoes into a beef stew, slide a few slices into a BLT, or layer them with their soul mate, basil, tomatoes have become ubiquitous. But even the reddest, plumpest specimens can disappoint when it comes to flavor and juiciness. Finding the best choice, knowing its flavor secrets, and understanding the best way to preserve that flavor will deepen your enthusiasm for one of summer's great tastes.How do you pick a good tomato? Not by looks. Some of the best-tasting tomatoes happen to be some of the homeliest. And picture-perfect tomatoes can be flavorless. Picking a good tomato starts at home, or in your neighborhood."
Home-grown tomatoes can't be beat. DAD
.
I do not know the Author of this above, but Thanks to someone.
.
This link below will take you to a poem that John M. sent me, it is a little long for the blog, so I used this way to let you view it. It is worth your time to read it. Here it is,Dad's Views and Tomato News ,,,
'
.
I am not late with this coffee today, it is ready hot, strong and waiting on you. I like it strong and I always use just a little half and half cream with it. And this today is Starbucks, a gift from one of my friends. And for my many friends that like tea you are never forgotten. Dad.
.
..
This link It Ain't Easy Bein' Green is of course from my great grandaughter Mandy. It is helpful and also very interesting. Take a little time and look it over.
.
We need to talk a little about the weather right here. It has been almost perfect for me, and it is looking good for several days ahead. This morning at 3:00 a.m. the temperature was 60 and we have a 82 for the day, and plenty of that beautiful sun. Come on there you Tomatoes it time now for you to do your part, I am in a hurry for a good tomato sandwich.
.
I don't think that we should go up to Eagle Web Cam very early this morning. We need to let them get a little rest. They had a rough day yesterday, it tired me out just watching them. I hope that what was being done was successful. It was interesting to watch, it did seem to me to be a very dangerous job. Thanks to all of you that had a part in the job. DAD.

Traveling Abroad? Learn How to Say Tomato!
Tags: languages, translated
.
By Vanessa Richins
.
Someday soon I dream of traveling around the world.
I am fascinated by other cultures, especially the foods and languages.
In fact, I have a dream of being able to read and write in 11 different languages. So far I know English, Spanish at an intermediate level, and a bit in a few other languages.
As I was idly thinking tonight, I realized that I only knew how to say tomato in 2 different languages - English and Spanish. How would I ever survive in another country if I didn’t know how to ask for my favorite vegetable?
I hopped on over to Google to use their translator. It features 42 languages. When I typed in “I want to grow a tomato”, I learned that I need to say “Voglio crescere un pomodoro.” when in Italy.
.
Without further ado, here are their translations for the word “tomato”.
Albanian - domate
Arabic - الطماطم
Bulgarian - домат
Catalan - tomàquet

There are few greater pleasures than a just-picked ripe, red tomato still warm from the summer sun, or a basket of juicy heirloom tomatoes from your farmers' market.More than any other fruit or vegetable, the tomato has changed the face of modern cuisine. Whether you toss chopped tomatoes into a beef stew, slide a few slices into a BLT, or layer them with their soul mate, basil, tomatoes have become ubiquitous. But even the reddest, plumpest specimens can disappoint when it comes to flavor and juiciness. Finding the best choice, knowing its flavor secrets, and understanding the best way to preserve that flavor will deepen your enthusiasm for one of summer's great tastes.How do you pick a good tomato? Not by looks. Some of the best-tasting tomatoes happen to be some of the homeliest. And picture-perfect tomatoes can be flavorless. Picking a good tomato starts at home, or in your neighborhood."
Home-grown tomatoes can't be beat. DAD

This link below will take you to a poem that John M. sent me, it is a little long for the blog, so I used this way to let you view it. It is worth your time to read it. Here it is,Dad's Views and Tomato News ,,,

I am not late with this coffee today, it is ready hot, strong and waiting on you. I like it strong and I always use just a little half and half cream with it. And this today is Starbucks, a gift from one of my friends. And for my many friends that like tea you are never forgotten. Dad.

This link It Ain't Easy Bein' Green is of course from my great grandaughter Mandy. It is helpful and also very interesting. Take a little time and look it over.
.
We need to talk a little about the weather right here. It has been almost perfect for me, and it is looking good for several days ahead. This morning at 3:00 a.m. the temperature was 60 and we have a 82 for the day, and plenty of that beautiful sun. Come on there you Tomatoes it time now for you to do your part, I am in a hurry for a good tomato sandwich.
.
I don't think that we should go up to Eagle Web Cam very early this morning. We need to let them get a little rest. They had a rough day yesterday, it tired me out just watching them. I hope that what was being done was successful. It was interesting to watch, it did seem to me to be a very dangerous job. Thanks to all of you that had a part in the job. DAD.

Traveling Abroad? Learn How to Say Tomato!
Tags: languages, translated
.
By Vanessa Richins
.
Someday soon I dream of traveling around the world.
I am fascinated by other cultures, especially the foods and languages.
In fact, I have a dream of being able to read and write in 11 different languages. So far I know English, Spanish at an intermediate level, and a bit in a few other languages.
As I was idly thinking tonight, I realized that I only knew how to say tomato in 2 different languages - English and Spanish. How would I ever survive in another country if I didn’t know how to ask for my favorite vegetable?
I hopped on over to Google to use their translator. It features 42 languages. When I typed in “I want to grow a tomato”, I learned that I need to say “Voglio crescere un pomodoro.” when in Italy.
.
Without further ado, here are their translations for the word “tomato”.
Albanian - domate
Arabic - الطماطم
Bulgarian - домат
Catalan - tomàquet

.
We will be moving the cam # 1 back to show a side view of the tomatoes today, from there you can get a better view of their growth.
.
I just now checked my two cams and the one up to the eagles, and believe it or not they are in service. Dad.
.
Here is my thought for today.
" Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory ; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves."
This is from Philippians, chapter 2 and verse 3. It was in our Bible study last night. Many times my self gets in the way and keeps me from doing that. DAD
.
The time has arrived for me to get out of your way, I know that the most of you have to get to a job. I hope that it is a good day , and I feel that it is going to be. Smile and be kind to everyone today and that will help. I hope to be right here in the early morning.

ENTRY SEVENTEEN HUNDRED AND THIRTY-NINE
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE,
.
( Please notice the special thing that is going to happen to the Eagles at 10 A.M. this morning, see below at the link. )
.
Time is so precious-do not waste it,living for thyself alone. Live for others.
.
The sun never sets on Dad's Tomato Garden Journal.
.
I need to try and explain about the picture above.This was taken yesterday afternoon at 5:30 p.m. with our Outdoor Cam # 2. At that hour the evening sun was so bright that the picture did not turn out very well. What you are suppose to see is Ted my next door neighbor cultivating the tomato garden. Look to the left in the picture and you might see him. We will try this later in the week when the sun is not so bright. DAD.
.
I was real late yesterday morning with our tea and coffee, that is not going to happen this morning. The first thing that I done when I came to my office this morning was to turn that perculator on, you should be able to smell it now. Sit down a little while and visit with me.
.
.
We had some wonderful tomato growing weather yesterday and we are expecting more today. This morning at 3:00 A.M. the tempeature is 49 and I think that the high is to be near 95 with plenty of sun. With not any chance of rain. Since I have the garden cultivated I am glad to see this. Won't be long now.
.
I am feeling very much better this morning, I did sleep good and that helps this old man a lot. And it also helps when things are running a little better.
.
Here in this link below to a poem that John M. sent me, it is a little long for the blog, so I used this way to let you view it. It is worth your time to read it. Here it is,Dad's Views and Tomato News ,,,
.
Here is my thought for today.
.
"I would dear Jesus, I could break, The hedge that creeds and heresies make;And like Thy first disciples be,In person, led and taught by Thee."
.
"I read Thy words so pure and sweet, And seek the footsteps of Thy feet;But men so mystify the trace,I long to see Thee face to face."
.
This thought is the last two verses of the poem that was sent me that I mentioned above. DAD.

Upside-down tomatoes continue to be a garden trend.
This week we have two questions from readers about this growing style.
From Kacy:
“Can one plant 2 tomato plants upside down in a 5 gallon bucket ? Such as 2 holes in the bucket, will there be enought room to grow both?”
Hi Kacy! Yes, you can do 2 tomato plants. It would work better if you drilled both a 2″ hole and smaller drainage holes in both the bottom and the lid to plant one at each end. You will need to watch carefully and add soil as needed. You will also need to make sure to use fertilizers as needed since there will be 2 plants competing for all of the nutrients.

Yesterday I forgot the coffee and now this morning I have forgot to mention the trip up to the Eagle Web Cam . I sure don't want to do that for I can see that the time is near for them to leave us. They are going to be missed by many. Thanks to all that are responsible for us having this chance to see the eagles from the time that the eggs were laid untill they fly away. Dad.
.
Wednesday at 10:00 a.m., scientists will attach a satellite tracking device to one of the eaglets. Perry Mathewes of Norfolk Botanical Garden will be in the Special Event Chat Room to describe the activity. Please join us to watch this fascinating event live on the Eagle Cam.
Special thanks to our Eagle Cam partners:

I must stop and get read to face another day. I am glad for the help that has been provided us if we will only seek it. " Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened. True words of Jesus. I hope to visit you again in the morning if all goes well. I hope that your day goes good, wherever you are. Smile today if you possibly can.
