BTW by this time of year lots of lower and older leaves will be turning yellow then
brown ..... their little chloroplasts have rolled over and are no longer doing their
photosynthetic thing ...... just cut off those leaves.

nice planting mix: you might can add some silica sand and a professional growers mix
to your planting beds later this fall or late next winter & early spring ..... do not work the soil if it
is wet and you have clay soils. If you are bored you can add some espoma plant tone and
put in a cover crop of winter rye too ...... which you can turn under next spring as a "green manure."

BTW what is the best tomato you have grown this year?
