Looks like everything is finally under control. No bugs, no blight and everything looking great. You will be giving away tomatoes for Christmas presents

I definitely will. I comtinue to spray them daily with garlic and onion solution and check for everything. They look fantastic.

Something is attacking my plants. I noticed the black spots earlier in the week, so I moved these plants to a different area. Now they are all over 3 of my plants.

Black spots means fungus. Those dead orange looking leaves are covered with mold or mildew or something. I would remove them and spray with a copper based fungicide.

Burn the three, spray the rest.

I burned the infected plants. The plants that are not infected, i cut the lower stems and give them a little more space. I am hoping that I did not cut too mich and damage the plants. As far as the copper based fungicide, I don't have anything available, but I will order some from amazon.

Spray them with aspirin 150mg/litre, as much of both sides of the foliage as you can, best mid-afternoon.

My tomato and pepper plants are looking pretty good so far. In addition, my Lemon tree has flowers and may have some lemons soon. The Tangerine is still struggle with leafminor, but it's hanged in there.

I've only just caught up with your thread Ferice having had computer issues. In the few weeks I've been away your plants have certainly come on well after all the initial problems. You've met the challenges head on and can be proud of yourself......I hope that doesn't sound patronising, but growing fruit and veg can be hard work, especially when the odds are against you. Now you can look forward to the fruits of your labour, enjoy them.

They are looking fantastic Ferice.
Well done!

 

[ferice]

You've been fantastic, and I could not have done it without your help. I am and will be forever grateful. @Sheal I am happy that your computer is fixed.

You're welcome Ferice, but Chuck and other members deserve the praise, particularly as they understand the pitfalls of gardening in America. AlI I can do is draw on my general knowledge to help you.

I now have a new computer and am tackling Windows 10 for the first time.

 

[ferice]

Absolutely, it was implied when I said 'You'.

Something is chewing on my tomatoes. I opened them hoping to identify the culprit, but nothing was inside.

I'm afraid I can't help on N. American wildlife, but garlic/chili spray might help.
