It doesn't say make sure you don't let this toothpaste
touch your skin. Or to wear nitrile gloves.

It just didn't make us feel like spraying it on our food.
No worries that it sounds silly to anyone else.

There is an Adam and Eve store here, but she refuses to go.... We both
grew up Catholic and have "guilt"

can you take a picture of your spray? I haven't ever had one that had
that wording on it. I'd be interested to see the product.

I was a bus driver trainee... No thanks on bus.

I would like to bike. I have a car, but other drivers scare me. And I
hate getting stuck in stop go traffic. On a bike, you can just go where
you want unfettered.

I only bought it to get free shipping. I was a bit short of the
limit so I ordered this, I could pay for shipping or I could get
some item. What I'm getting at is that I didn't actually have some
burning desire to use blossom set spray. Ron took a look at it and
those warnings put him off, and I don't blame him. We always got
plenty of tomatoes without it.

I believe this is the brand I bought:

thanks for providing that. I looked for it and couldn't find it. It
is the standard government labeling. One of the last statements on
the label is that no toxic elements are present. Tell your husband
that the ingredient is most likely in your face cream/moisturizer.

You can always rape a feather duster.

Where do you get one of those? There is an Adam and Eve store here,
but she refuses to go with me. Says I will giggle non stop.

Anyway, the tomatoes are still growing. Debating whether I should cut
back the healthy one not producing. Maybe I should?

Forget Adam and Eve, she isn't interested. Try your local hardware
store for feather dusters - search Amazon, even Office Depot sells
them. Come to think of it, my zoo used to sell ostrich feathers.

You're on your own with that decision, but my opinion is it's too late
in the season for that plant to produce anything but leaves

A set blossom needs 45 (+ or -) days to become a red, juicy tomato.

Remove the bottom leaves.
Mound earth up over the stem about 6" deep. When tomatoes are planted
from seed it's best to use pots. When transfering to the ground heel
the young plant in at an angle so that at least half the stem is
buried... that section will grow lots of roots keeping the plant well
nourished. Never sow tomato seeds directly in the ground. Also never
wet tomato plant leaves, water only the ground and early in the day so
that any water on the plant will have time to dry, do not water late
in the day... best to use soaker hoses for tomatoes.

Sounds interesting... but I don't have a feather duster... what about
a Swiffer?

First, it needs some blossoms.

OT but I got to play naked backgammon with my gf yesterday... and I
won! We played acey duecey and I got bunch of 1/2s near the end.
I've never played naked before. I'm usually shy, but not with her.

It was a good day. Any day with her is a good day... I still have half
my artichoke sub. And garden omelet. I like leftovers.

I'm not sure about cutting back the tomato plant. I keep thinking it
will produce some day. Maybe Julie is right and it's a late bloomer?

The other one has blossoms. That one has leaves.

She thinks it has blossoms already, but the way I understand the
situation - it doesn't... so I wouldn't count on it being fruitful if
I were you.

It has blossoms. The problem is that the blossoms are not setting.
