Maxwell03 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Sunday marks 20 years since an F3 tornado devastated a development in Limerick Twp, Montgomery County, PA. This is, in my opinion, the Philly region's answer to La Plata or Worcester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTA66 Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Temps are nice but the humidity has certainly shot up since this morning's showers. 71.3F/70DP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedSky Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 2 more tomatoes wilted and died in the last 24 hours bringing the casualty total to 5. Disease resistant varieties too, this is not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stemwinder Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 2 more tomatoes wilted and died in the last 24 hours bringing the casualty total to 5. Disease resistant varieties too, this is not good. We've had a lot of 70+ DP days, with only a few good breaks. Plus a lot of cloudiness. Great weather for fungus. Sorry about your tomatoes. Not fun to watch things die. I have just two plants in containers, and one isn't doing so hot. The other has borne a few delightful but small fruits. Black Plum. Heirloom. Used Pro Mix and an organic mix. The fungus builds up in the soil, Im afraid. My little terrace is a solar oven in Summer. Maybe that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can be done about it far as i have researched as the usual VFFN resistance is of no help It's been a wet summer yet not excessively so like last summer. Grew them in containers the last two summers. First season had no issues then last year yellow and spots and blight despite the VFF resistance so who the heck knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSky Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Tomatoes are becoming a pain in the butt for me to grow. Even plants that survive disease i always get tomatoes with freckly brown spots that can become black and moldy as they age i been having that issue for ten years. Tried everything growing them in different locations, various varieties, copper dust. Some kind of blight that is pervasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried everything growing them in different locations, various varieties, copper dust. Some kind of blight that is pervasive. Sorry about your tomatoes...here they're doing well so far. My problem is leaves. I've been raking and blowing leaves since March, it's not right. We've done a lot of work on the yard in the 2 plus years we've been here, since it was 90 percent weeds when we moved in. And now that it's in decent shape, we've got leaves falling all the time. First it was a boatload of ivy on an old cherry/willow tree that seemed to develop some kind of fungus, and those leaves started falling in March. Since then we've cut the ivy, still waiting for it to wind down. Then it was 2 tall Black Cherry trees that have a fungus, and have been dropping leaves off and on since early June. Now there's a nearby Yellowwood tree that's joined in. Definitely a fungus amongus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KamuSnow Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 On the insect subject, started hearing the katydids here Wednesday night. I would also like to give the lightning bugs their due - we had an awesome turnout here this year, especially the last 2 weeks of June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine got wiped out in June, I think it was that dreaded Verticillium Wilt. Also did anyone hear anything about hail yesterday near Elverson?

DarthDoppler Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 51.8 this morning. Check out the webcam for "Alpine Visitor Center" on the Rocky Mountain National Park website. It's hard to see, but it says 32F and it looks like wet snow. That's at "only" 11,796'!

Maxwell03 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Was up in Lansdale tonight. Finally got to hear the song of the katydid. Must say, it is quite impressive. Don't hear any of that down here in Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
