I learned last year, I crush tums antiacid tablets, and sprinkle on my soil. It stopped all the blossom end rot. You can use milk for that too. Splits in the skin are often caused by extremes of water, or lack of it then heavy rains on them. <br />I too love your sunflowers, the ground hog is already trying to get mine & it has not a head yet upon it.

We had the same problem with blossom end rot but now are fine. I know about those pests, they have played havoc on our garden this year, I think one reason is because our winter was so mild, I find myself asking for a colder winter this year. lol I do enjoy gardening and would love to stay outside all day, but for now I will take what time I can get. <br />Enjoy your day, <br />Love,<br />SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-92033017830789602172012-07-08T03:51:50.257-07:002012-07-08T03:51:50.257-07:00I have a couple little Sun Gold tomatoes ripening....I have a couple little Sun Gold tomatoes ripening.

I don't know how you stand the heat. I'm such a baby when it comes to being hot. I usually take my walk (4 miles) with the dog as early in the morning as I can.

I thought with my carpeted garden, pruning the bottom leaves, never letting leaves touch the soil, and watering just at the base of my tomatoes, I could avoid blight. I'm starting to wonder now, for a couple of them have dried leaves at the bottom. :-(<br />Good luck with your garden. I realize I should have planted at least one zucchini seed, but I didn't because I get a ton of zucchini every year I plant them. Hope your garden all works out. P.S. I'm an Elinor Dashwood too. :-))))Cranberry Morninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758563068581561194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6044361545139026110.post-17587042117164183742012-07-07T13:12:24.464-07:002012-07-07T13:12:24.464-07:00Our tomatoes are just coming on.

Mine do that. I still don't know what happened to my squash plants but I found some more and planted them with some more zucchini. I was hoping maybe I planted them too early or maybe was watering them too much. I hope it's not some sort of stupid bugs. Dang it.
