Tomato/Stalk Borer; http://www.ipm.iastate.edu/ipm/hortnews/1992/7-22-1992/tomato.html If the tomatoes are close then they could also have blight. If it is blight you can space them further apart so that they get plenty of air then hit them with a Copper Fungicide Spray or Dust. Chris

:) Kerosene in a Rx. bottle. Tecnu works so well because the main active ingredient is Mineral Spirits which is a Paraffin AKA Kerosene. It good for the skin also. My Grandfather used straight Kerosene for poison ivy all the time. Chris

Mama, For the Poison Oak that your DH has you could try a bar of Fels-Naptha Soap or a lye soap like Grandma's Lye Bar Soap and a good Antihistamine. For the Poison Oak Plant I second the use of 2-4D. Chris

It's getting real close. I have about 20 - 2x4's and 5 - 4x8 OSB to get and external framing will done. Then I'll have trim to put up and then put 2 good coats of a heave primer and a coat of paint on it. Internal bells and whistles might take some time. I have to build the benches, run...
