This is what happens to a beautiful tomato bloom when it doesn't get enough sun light, too much nitrogen, or it could be one of a number of factors. It's called "blossom drop", and I think it's starting to happen to Lime Green Salad. We've had some cloudy and unusually cool weather here the past few days and the forecast doesn't look too good either. We're supposed to get thunderstorms today and tomorrow. If I'm wrong, please someone correct me, because I hope it's not so. One thing I am learning about growing your own food: There are some things only God can do, and making a tomato grow is one of them. If only I could live my whole life in such surrender to Him.
Coming up tomorrow...can you guess what we're making?

Hunh, I have been seeing that on my petunias and thought it was me overwatering/not watering enough. We have some sunny days coming up, hopefully the rest of the blossoms will perk up. Learn something new every day!!
Well, it could be from a variety of things:
-Not enough sun
-Too hot or too cold
-Too much nitrogen in the soil
The list goes on, I've just pretty meticulous with what my tomatoes get, so that's why I was assumming it was the sun light.
Yum! Can't wait for those recipes! Love your blog, Paul!
