Personal

Name CornerGardener
Birthday December 2, 0
Gender Male
Family My wife and I have four sons, three with us full time. We love to spend time together playing games, enjoying the outdoors, skateboarding (yeah, me too!) and working in the yard.
Check out my personal blog at <a href="http://apaetoday.blogspot.com">A posse ad esse</a>
About Me If you ask my wife, I'm the gardener of the house, although I'd argue that she certainly pulls her fair share of work around the house. I have an undescribable passion for growing things and particularly food for my family.
Interests I love to garden, obviously, and have recently started helping others in my community to get their own gardens started. I love my family and our time together, and am thankful everyday to have found my perfect companion.

If the soil is too cool/wet. it can inhibit phosphorus uptake into the plant. I have found this problem with my seedlings this year as well. It's the first year that I've had the starter in the basement where it is much cooler then upstairs. Good luck with it kelly. Paul~

Using XP explorer 7 on two machines, both show it all off to the side. I've put up a photo album with the screen shot for a couple of problems in it at. There may be a table issue that your not being able to see if the code is incorrectly formed. Sometimes in a development invironment, it's not easy to see what's causing it because I.E. will sometimes automatically correct for bad code. (not saying you write bad code Jordanne...I promise. I write web code all day and I jack it up all the time.) I'm just thinking out loud. I'll post screen shots up there if I find other oddities. P~ http://freedomgardens.org/CornerGardener/albums/895

Hi Leslie, I actually just had someone else email me a question about this same thing this week. They posted some pictures of their tomato problem on their blog. (clauseninthehausen.blogspot.com) They are growing their toms in a heavily peat /vermiculite mixture that holds a lot of water and when they started to see the wilt they watered more fearing under watering. It was on a potato-leafed brandywine tomato. The jist of my advice was that tomatoes are a heat loving plant. With that heat comes cycles of dry soil. If the plants sprouting indoors are overwatered they will display the same signs as underwater this is because the roots cannot "breath" and begin to die off essentially causing an under-nourishing situation. If your plants never have the chance to dry out in between waterings this may be the case. Also, one of the reason that big ag moved away from the heritage seed stocks is because they had less resistance to rot and wilt problems. If they're not getting overwatered, this may be a case of a weakness in the strain of seed that you have. I grow heirlooms too, but they need a little more attention sometimes because of their inherant weaknesses. Best of luck with this. Paul~ http://apaetoday.blogspot.com

Yes, I was going to mention this as well. The same thing happens in the Profile comments area. The end of the string "disappears" outside of the comments area. I will add though, that it doesn't matter if there's and add there or not. the text is not being bound inside the Table cell that is isplaying the text. On the groups sections when leaving a reply you can also see that the quote, edit and Delete buttons at the top are displayed off center to the right. I think this is related. P~
