Blossom-end rot of Tomato Plants
2009-08-13 07:39:00 Blossom-end rot is a tomato disorder that I've been asked about a couple of times on Twitter and via Email. It isn't a disease caused by garden pests or something transmitted through infected plants. Blossom-end rot generally occurs when a developing tomato fruit doesn't get the necessary amount of calcium. Fertilizing your tomatoes may not be of much help because even if your tomatoes are growing in nutrient rich soil, the problem is aided by uneven watering that don't allow the tomato plants to make good use of the nutrients in the soil. Prolonged droughts or heavy watering followed by long dry periods can also lead to blossom-end rot.The symptoms of blossom-end rot can start off as a small, tan-colored...

Finally, it's that Plants & Submarines Story!
2009-05-21 17:06:00 Question: When is a plant like a nuclear submarine?Answer: When they're both school projects I have messed up.Last week Friday, I took the day off from work, a move that will have profound implications on the scientific world for years to come, although I could hardly have guessed that when I first took the day off.The day off had profound implications because it led to Middle asking me to "keep an eye" on her science project, which is "growing a plant."That may not seem too scientific, but I guess by the watered-down standards Middle's school is now imposing, it's a pretty tough project. Granted, kindergartners also grow plants for science projects, but who am I to argue with education professionals? If they think not actively interfering with a natural process equates to learning something about science, then I should just go with the flow.Besides, as it turns out, that whole not interfering thing is a lot harder than it looks.Middle had been growing her Science Project Pla...
