I had decided to give my ailing cukes (leaves wilting) and other plants some aspirin.
http://www.plantea.com/plant-aspirin.htm
All my veggies are in containers. Upon stepping onto the back deck I discovered a good portion of the top half of my tomatoe plants on the ground. Part of the trellis holding them had snapped. I quickly administered aspirin to most of the container veggies. then it was off to home depot to purchase some metal fencing post for the tomatoes. Finally got the tomatoes stantanding erect ... just a bit shorter in height.
As soon as I cooled off I am going to spray my veggies and roses with the following solution and take pictures to post later.
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cooking oil
1 teaspoon shampoo
1 quart of water
Make sue to spray underside of leaves and as much of stem as possible.
