Guessers stirred their drink wrong, from witchita to north Arkansas MO bootheel not here. Now it's earlier with less %

What model is it?

One of the 4 hp commercial motor ones S21ZPR.
Need to check for carboned ports and bad seals later in the week.
Replaced the bad throttle cable with a used one from a parts machine,
as this mower has the choke instead of a primer.
Got it to start and briefly run on prime. No funny noises.

Good morning fellas.
Got the first full sized tomato of our '24 season.
Had a few cherry toms already, we have 4 varieties of them in the ground this year.
BLT's are in our future.

Levi planted a couple tomato plants this year.
His first bunch all had black on the bottom of the fruits.

What causes that? Figured you would have seen it before.

Sounds like the early stages of blight.

Take a look at bottom end rot photo's. If that's the right Idea, garden lime and pulverized eggshells. 1/4 cup lime(max) to start with and rake into soil near stalk. Lightly water to dissolve lime just a little.
If the soil is and has been very wet, back off on watering to about 1/2 as much. There's other stuffs possible as well. But a good place to start. Could also be soil ph is to high.

Look at what the university extensions have to say. It's where I've had the better luck with following their recommendations !

Good morning crew. A full mug of coffee, what could be better at the moment ?

And for the next moment, pulled out a pack of cherry-wood smoked bacon for breakfast and maybe a BLT's .
