How To Best Control Spring Garden Diseases

[@natashacrystal6490]

Y’all are kind of mean. I’ve been checking my tomatoes waiting patiently for them to ripen. Seeing you enjoying yours is making my mouth water even more! The old goat is enjoying looking over Shelia’s head.

Good evening to you. The old goat is hanging from the shelf behind Mama Hoss. Have a great evening.

[@tommathews3964]

Old Goat wanted some garlic this week! He's in the braid behind Ms. Sheila. Very timely subject this week! Man, you ain't kidding about spotted wilt virus! I had about 80 plants last year and lost a third of them to SWV. All of my Kellogg's Breakfast. BOOM! That's the most devastating problem I have on tomatoes with the blights probably next. I'm glad to see y'all working with some of Brad's varieties! I've grown a bunch of them over the years and they are fun to grow! Those Brad's Atomic Grapes are one of the craziest things I've ever grown! They turned every color you can imagine and it took me a while to figure out when they were ripe! I had to rely on "feel" until I figured it out. They would start out in deep purple/green phases, then get some browns, bronzes, blues, and even oranges. Really wild, and they were pretty good tasting.

A new way to grow heirloom tomatoes is to graft them on a disease resistant root stock. I don't mean to promote another channel, but Epic Gardener has a great video on it. This is what most commercial tomato growers do now.

Thanks for helping us grow! The old goat is in the garlic behind Momma Hoss. I have leaf spot garden issues.

[@tammiessouthernLAhome]

Ole goat is tied up in the garlic. My tomatoes are looking great and my Georgia Jet sweet potato slips were planted per your instructions and are looking beautiful! I’m so excited, this year is my first time growing them. My worst problem is that curly leaf. So far it’s not been a problem this year but it’s early yet.

[@cindyeasterling6917]

Early blight, I think, is my main problem on tomatoes. I try to trim off the lower branches to about a foot from the ground and mulch with pine straw. If I see a branch looking bad, I pinch it off.

I read that 10 teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide in a gallon of water and spray the vines and it supposedly kills the mildew. I don't have a problem with it right now but if I see the tiniest bit of it I'm going to try that mixture.

[@franklandry5864]

Good evenin miss Shiela and Greg. The old hoat is in the garlic bundle behind miss Shiela.

[@jessicamurano9673]

Thanks for the disease tips. Up north in Boston I most commonly deal with late blite on tomatoes or powdery mildew towards the end of the season. I use a dilution of hydrogen peroxide on tomatoes and try to do every 2 weeks to stay ahead of it. I've used a solution w/ baking soda on the mildew. Both work fantastic but not perfect. Depends on the year too.

[@abundantlifeseminars]

Tomato blight is a biggest problem especially in our 20 X 40 high tunnel. Picking the right variety has help a lot and controlling humidity in the spring (this spring was especially humid in west Kansas). Thanks for the excellent program on disease control - always timely information.

[@jamiemartin8750]

Old goat is behind mamma Hoss head with the garlic. I deal with powder mildew on squash and cucumber blight on my tomatoes. This year I have all ready lost 4 tomato plants to wilt. The wilt is a new one for me. As a side note. I have always planted indeterminate tomatoes and every year I have to go to the eye doctor to get steroids for inflammation of the eye. This year I bought all determinate seeds from Hoss and haven’t had a problem all year. Until I decided to go get a few indeterminate tomatoes after plating them. My eye (always my right eye) is burning, stinging, and sensitive to light. Not sure why this happens but I won’t be planting indeterminate tomato anymore.

[@lauralee8111]

Tomato blight is my biggest problem here in Ellerslie Ga. This video has been so helpful. Thank you!!! Had several tomato plants wilt and I didn’t know what caused it…now I know!

Great show! The old goat is hanging just above Momma Hoss's head. Powdery mildew is a disease that we struggle with. We have been more careful with the varieties of squash and pumpkins that we plant and control our watering so that the leaves are not getting too much moisture.

[@prihodabear]

Great video! The old goat is hanging in the garlic behind Mama Hoss. The disease that I am having trouble with right now is leaves turning brown on my fruit trees.

[@ffs6158]

Ive gotta dry Mediterranean climate in my area so that southern humid misery we luckily dont have (probably why this is a huge agricultural county especially historically this area was a power house in early america). Powdery mildew always shows up in fall when the nights start getting cool(er) and the moisture comes back and wipes out my squashes, but by then they're usually about done anyway. But now that I said this I jinxed myself and I'll get some awful disease thats gonna wipe everything out, lol. tbh my biggest struggle in the garden is controlling aphids!

[@delsurf71]

My biggest disease problem in the past has been mildew. Up until I watch this episode I called it powdery but learned it is actually downy mildew. I am in zone 7. I am growing with the lazy gardener ground cover and am anxious to see if it helps.

[@jines8]

So far this year, it’s been powder mildew. I’m in Southern Indiana

[@h.vandewalker2428]

My biggest disease issue, I believe, is called tomato blight. I am in North-Central Florida. I make certain that I trim the lower leaves, I have mulch around all of my plants and use underground drip tape.

If you use the non organic Hi Yield, how long should you wait to harvest? Even on some of the organic stuff, it says to wait some days, depending on the crop before harvest. Is there something you can wash the produce in after harvest that will help with cleaning before eating? The goat is hanging out in the garlic. I'm starting to see powdery mildew and about ready to start pulling up my squash plants.

But the taste of those few tomatos are well werth the problems that come with growing them.I'm upstate south carolina.

I AM my plants biggest disease I was taught many things as a young one but never knew disease control hood bugs bad bugs and noticing different diseases we always knew soil management was a must but didn’t have all the nutrients to feed.

The goat is right behind Mama Hoss in the hanging garlic. Try Billy’s Bone Sauce to repel the rabbits. It is working well so far to keep deer away. It is supposed to keep rabbits away too.

[@davidward1259]

Sneaky old goat is sort-of hiding in the garlic braid behind Mama Hoss this week! For the Monterey package, our most common disease issue we deal with is late blight our 2nd planting of summer vegetables for a fall harvest. Of course the plants being weakened by the August summer heat does not help either. We used to put down straw like Mama Hoss described, but since the amino-pyralid issue started to show up for some people, I'm reluctant to use any purchased straw product. I do agree 200% that drip goes a long way to help with disease prevention as you don't splash water on the leaves at all (unless it rains). That Hossinator Jalapeno is HUGE!!!!

[@FC-cz6zd]

Excellent stuff y'all. Down here on the Space Coast of FL (9b), I've come to learn that my best chances for success are starting my hot pepper plants in early Nov with a goal of a few good harvests by June. After that, consistent high temps with high humidity = lots of pest and disease. Most of my plants just give up and I don't blame them. Thanks for a great education! Oh yeah, your Lola bananas are doing very well so far and I'll be giving your Hossinator Jalapenos a try when the time comes to start 2024.

Old goat is right behind Mamma Hoss's head hagning out is what looks like garlic. This is my first ever year trying to grow a garden so I'm going to have to go with the defalt "leaf spot" answer for now. I've searched your channel. I know you did a video about why the "back to Eden" garden doesn't work for you. I'm very limited on space so I went with a few small raised beds and am trying out the "Square foot gardening" method. Any thoughts or opinions on that method or book?

Look out Momma Hoss! Old Goat might jump on your head any minute! Thanks so much for what y'all do! Blight or wilt is the worst for me here in WNC. It's usually not a question of "will they get it" but "how soon will they get it". I just always hope to gather a bunch of maters before it hits.

[@sheraldtaylor1297]

The old goat is in the garlic string behind Sheila's head. Probably one of the mildews. Usually show up on my vine crops and sometimes okra, depending on the variety I am growing. Otherwise it is mostly pest pressure and whatever they spread. Since I can't control the rain or lack of and or humidity, I try to grow crops with the quickest maturity, I rotate and always add compost and preplant fertilizer to give my plants the best start. I do fertilize throughout the growing season too. Also, some crops are only grown every other year or so as a way to "rotate" crops. I had a bumper crop of cucumbers last year, thus not growing them this year. Thank you for addressing these issues, they are so helpful.

[@LucindaBoykin]

This is such a timely video; in a small backyard garden made of raised beds and containers, there's not much room for rotation, so having other strategies is immensely helpful. My determinate tomatoes usually make it through their life cycle just fine, and my indeterminates grow and produce beautifully...until the problem of the year hits. Some (most) years, it's blight, while others, it's leaf spot or wilt. I try to keep it positive and remember that the more problems I have one year, the more I learn about how to manage them so that I have fewer problems every year after that. This year, I've started new seeds to provide replacement plants and pruned a few suckers off my favorite and most healthy plants and rooted them under the grow lights so they're ready to go if I need them. Old Goat is gathering some garlic to go with his potatoes from last week. Does that mean he's making garlic mashed potatoes?

[@keranhumble6782]

My Indigo blue cherry tomatoes all look like the leaves are curled up. The Indigo blue tomatoes are completely different in appearance and are putting on fruit. I also have zucchini squash that have leaves that keep turning brown and I suspect its mildew, but my other squash are doing fine planted right next to it. So frustrating. Back to the cherry tomatoes, I have other varieties planted right next to them as well and they are just fine. I may try to grow some more seedlings out and see if I can grow them in a growbag . My raised beds are pretty packed. Thank you for all the valuable information. The Old Goat is behind Sheila hanging in the garlic strand. I have been having trouble with downy mildew.
