We have several tomato plants in various large pots on the patio, Marglobe and Husky, (which have done VERY well in years past)...
This year the plants are tall and vigorous, many blossoms and no fruit.....I've seen bees and other insects buzzing around them......any ideas?
Also, we've been using cedarcide fine mulch in the pots to deter snails and slugs. Our pepper plants are just being eaten up! Grasshoppers getting them maybe?
Suggestions on control welcome! Remember, these are in pots.......from 3 gal to 10 gal......our jalapeno peppers in the ground are doing great! But we just don't have enough good ground dirt and sun to put *everything* in the ground.
The potted herbs are doing GREAT! (Thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary and mint).
The tomato plants don't seem to be affected by the chomping insects.
And we're in the Texas Gulf Coast area.......hot and wet (did I say humid and hot?)
Thanks, as always...
