The high point of my season was I had no disease problems for the first time. I couldn’t get a decent set because of the extreme heat, but in October my plants were still disease free when I pulled them.

My main stay was Neptune’s Fish and Kelp and Actinovate. Which I wanted to tell Tom worked great for me. I foliar sprayed fish and kelp once a week and Actinovate every other week until August and then every week.

Other than that, I foliar sprayed Exel LG 3 times. Once when the plants began running, mid July and near the end of August because I had a couple leaves start to show some PM. Then a couple of days later, Bayer Disease control just because I had some and I figured for good measure.

The spots disappeared and I kept up the fish and kelp and Actinovate once a week. Any growers have anything they’d like to share about the past season?

Let me tell you a true story. I worked with a guy who moved here from Poland. He got the greeting, "How do you do?" wrong and it came out, "How do you do it?" Because that's how his translation book listed the word "do". As a verb that needed completion to make sense.

At first, the women were offended because they thought he was making some kind of off color sexual remark to them.
He was very confused wondering what he said wrong to women.

Amelio is in the same situation translating into English. He doesn't know that "private tutoring" could be taken to imply someone is stupid. That's how his translator puts it.

Just like I imply some funny things when I try to translate into German and don't know I am too.

Dang Linus, didnt know you was a non believer in fish Allergies and sulfur whatcha ma call it.. or what ever you call it.

But yea, read what my Physician's cousin said, he has worked in the shoe dept for 11 years of Walmart, right next to the pharmacy department, kinda blew my mind.

Runny nose and Allergies results from discharge secreted by the mucous membranes lining the inside of your nose. Allergic reactions are a common cause of runny nose. Such reactions may be caused by pollen (hay fever), animal dander, pumpkins, and stinky smelly fish extract that's has been sitting around in a wet soggy basement (with no humidifier present) for more then 10 years.
