Will This Return Next Year?

Will This Return Next Year?

So this bacteria (I think) destroyed by crop this September/October. I have no other place to plant my tomatoes next year. How do I get rid of it so I can grow again next year?

My First…Honest Feedback Please

Hi all, this is my first succulent (one cactus 🙏 ) arrangement. I would appreciate any tips — besides overcrowding (I know, bad) — and I’m sure there’s many more. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Passed 1st Try…Kinda

Firstly, I am so thankful for this community’s genuine kindness and massive, endless, bottomless wealth of knowledge — in fact, so much so I would recommend this community as the first step in anyone’s journey towards passing the monster that has become the Series 7 exam. “Has become..” and the title teaser “Kinda…” conjoin because YES, I passed the test today, but I also passed “1st Try” back in 1986 — the very first time I took it. Fresh out of Undergraduate Business School I flicked away the Series 7 like it was an annoyance. Done and dusted w one week’s notice. 23 yr. old brains can do that. Fear or failure helps too.

Today I passed the Series 7 for the second time because I let all my security licenses lapse a few years ago when I became ill— Not just my Series 7, but also my general securities principal and options principal licenses—all of which I took a decade or decades ago.

So there’s some context. Here’s how I did it:

  1. I joined this community!
  2. Ended up getting Kaplan’s QBank—(very high ROI at modest cost) and my god, the questions are hard as #%^! I Banged on QB so hard…testing and retesting (thru customized quizzes) subjects of weakness that you can improve upon—QB also has very useful performance analytics that help you figure out where your subject matter holes are. If you learn through answering questions — also (not discussed much I think…) excellent in-depth explanations.
  3. Ken Finnen: he is so useful he can become your opposing thumb in terms of test preparation. If you don’t know of him, I just told you (like others told me) and I respectfully suggest you should get to know him well. YouTube will own your browser if it doesn’t already.
  4. Belief in your preparation and self. Yes, you must log the hours if your brain isn’t innately larger than others.
  5. I’d say a I dedicated a hundred plus hours and it paid off! All I’m saying is this test is a Beast. Trust me, don’t trust me — just study.

I think the most important tips: I deployed Ken’s test taking suggestions and he was (of course) right about everything. It’s good to have a plan of action in place to manage you thru this bad boy.

I’d also say having a good AI engine helps make things easier. Everyone uses AI differently — for me, I used Gemini to help me understand concepts that weren’t sticking. I kept challenging Gemini to make it more simple…until I got step closer to “true understanding” of the subject matter.

Thank you deeply once again to all the givers out there in Reddit Land. I could not have passed “First Try…Kinda”. Happy to answer any questions and sorry for any typo’s.

I wish all of you soon to be test takers the most knowledge and luck imaginable.

First Timer: Do I Need?

I am growing ever bearing strawberries in a 20”x20” planter (way too deep!) — anyway, do you need these nettings to keep the fruit safe (when it comes…). Mine hasn’t — planted 4” seedlings around 5/25…thx!

Favorite Fertilizer: Liquid or Granular & Why

I love growing tomato’s but it seems the more I know, the more questions I have!!! So now it’s this one: should I continue to feed my darlings water soluble nutrients or go w a granular sort and scratch into top layer and then water? Which works best? And what are your favorites??? Seems to me the granular choice makes more sense because it doesn’t get washed away…but if I knew, I wouldn’t be asking!!! Thanks in advance for your help…CT based.

MONSTERS!!!

Through out the Vegas Tourney I was amazed by UM’s play…but this game against Gonzaga was when I knew…I have the texts to friends to prove it—they told me I was crazy. This team in DECEMBER ‘25 had the recipe to win it all already…and had 14 weeks to perfect it. GO BLUE!

Hi all — I know this sounds silly but the place I go for tomatoes — Sam’s Bridges in Greenwich CT won’t sell tomato’s until 5/15…and I am ready NOW. Can anybody recommend a place I can get my tomato garden going sooner than that 5/15 in Southern Westchester or CT??? Thank you!

I had three extra 5g fabric pots — so I planted 12 varieties of lettuce in them. No, not the best choice, but what’s done is done. I am already thinking about what to do when I go away for a long weekend or even when I’m at work and it’s super hot out…what type of automated irrigation system would you recommend for the three pots? Thx!
