This is the second year this happened. Any ideas?
These are Italian grape tomatoes

[ IMG ] at the beginning of the url you need this one
[ /IMG] at the end you need this one
put the url for the pictures inbetween and viola, it should post the pic.

[rainbowgardener]

I tried to fix it and it still didn't work. I can't see what the problem is; looks like it should work.

[Dixana]

When I see the link the letters img are lower case and should be caps IMG

I tried the direct URL and Flickr didn't like it. I think these might be the pictures you want

I hate to be the bringer of bad news but that looks like Late Blight the way it hits the stem, leaves, and fruit in patches (at least I think I see an infected fruit).

There is probably a fine light grey fuzz on the infected leaves and possibly a bad smell.


Not much you can do. Those plants will infect all others in the area if they are not removed or trimmed of all infected tissue and sprayed.

[lukaszu]

Yup, that sounds like it... I might have infected the rest of my tomatoes when I was handling the sick once... this happen last year as well.
Now I know .... basically no tomatoes for me this year.

[Gary350]

If you spray the plants with copper sulfate and lime it will slow the blight down long enough that you will have ripe tomatoes for a few weeks.

I noticed blight on my plants the first week of July. I have been spraying the plants every week. First I bought some spray at the garden shop it claimed to be good for late blight. Next I sprayed with copper sulfate and lime that slowed the blight down and I picked probably 100 lbs of tomatoes over the next 4 weeks.

Today I picked my last tomato. I have another 5 lbs of tomatoes that I managed to salvage today. My tomatoe plants are all dead.

[lukaszu]

You know the only thing I found funny about this whole thing? Its that I had to much nitrogen in the soil which caused my italian grape tomatoes plants to get all mutant big...once I got that under control now I get to watch them rot and snap in two with every wind gust .
BTW
Does anyone know if cutting off mini bell peppers will speedup maturing of the once still growing?

[LindsayArthurRTR]

No, but it will increase pepper production. More flowers, more peppers. If you leave peppers on the vine till fully mature you won't get more flowers and peppers ( in most varieties, sweets anyway. I've noticed that almost all of the hot peppers I grew this year were not affected this way... That or they just produced so many peppers right off the bat, that I thought they were not affected).

Ripe peppers actually produce ethylene gas which helps them ripe faster. So, I would think that if you left your ripening peppers on the vine until fully mature, that the gas could help speed ripening of the other peppers. I could be way off in my logic, though

Lets see if this works.

Seems like nothing I can do will make the pic show up inline.

[Garf]

One more try.

Still doesn't work. I need help here.

I tried that and it didn't work. I wonder what I did wrong. I even used

[webmaster]

To make your Flickr images show up [url=https://www.flickr.com/help/photos/#2265887]go to this Flickr page[/url] and read how they suggest to do it. Use the BBCode links they provide in the instructions.

[Garf]

I don't use Flickr I host the images on my own site I use to host my own website. I'm not exactly new to this and I tried every configuration I know, and it still didn't work.

I don't know. I simply quoted your post and the first one, which looks correct, immediately showed up. I then clicked on the 2nd live link, copied the Address from the link box at the top of the window, came back, pasted it and bracketed it with the img codes and it worked.

[Garf]

Something is wrong here. One of those 3 codes should have worked.

Agreed. I just simply copied and pasted your post above and it worked.
In any case the first one is the correct one and it does work as you can see.

[Kisal]

Works for me!

[Garf]

If it works for you, and it's right, why wouldn't it work for me. What's the difference?

[applestar]

Try it again. Let's see.

[Kisal]

If it works for you, and it's right, why wouldn't it work for me. What's the difference?

The link you posted would not show up as a pic for me, either. I opened your pic in a new page, copied the link from the browser window and reposted it, adding the vB tags, it still showed up the same way it did for you ... as a link surrounded by the tags.

Out of curiosity, I opened it in a new page, then clicked on Open Location, under Edit in my tool bar. The link looked the same, but when I copied and posted the link from my browser, and added the vB tags, the image showed up.

I'm not at all knowledgeable about computer stuff, so I don't pretend to understand how the links are different, but in some way, they are. I have no clue what Open Location does or is supposed to do. (I don't think I've ever clicked on it before in my life! )

I did note that you have posted the same links on other garden forums, and they didn't show up as pics on those forums, either. So, there has to be something about the original link itself, not just the THG forum.
