Since my last update, all my tomatoes have died. It even killed the two or three plants that were two years old. So I'm thinking where did the virus come from? I didn't have it two years ago or last year. Did I bring it in with some of the plants from the nursery in their potting soil?
Today I gave my neighbors some lemon cupcakes and they gave me 3 beautiful tomatoes. I told them my dilemma and they said spray the plants and soil with a mixture of 1/2 vinegar and 1/2 water. Please note I haven't tried this yet. I have no plants left alive to try it on.
Even my sunflowers were wimpy compared to the glorious ones I've grown in the past.They are already going to seed and are about half as big in diameter as the previous ones.
Maybe my soil has lost all its umph. Anyway, I did an hour of weeding today. I'm glad I stopped after an hour because I'm sore already and my hands are almost too tired to type.
