clusters. The neighbor sprayed the fence row a few days later with Round-Up
and now our tomatoe's new growth is all distorted from the drift. Will they
recover and produce fruit or will they remained deformed and not bear?
Please, does anyone know? Should I replace them or will they recover?

Ask your neighbor to replace the plants.
Roundup is quite short-lived, so if the plants survive at all they may well
recover.

I don't want to get on their bad side over a few dollars. They're trying to
clean up a messy weed strewn yard left by the old owners of their property.
The plants still look healthy and are a nice green color. Just the newest
growth is deformed and curled. We're sick over this.

Thank you for replying. I wish I had somewhere else to move the garden but
no other sunny spots exist. On the other side of us the owners spray their
gravel driveway to keep it clean looking. We've gotten the drift from them a
few times, but not on our tomatoes. Tomatoes must be very sensitive as the
peppers and okra are unaffected.

Don't just sit there and stew. Ask your neighbors to be careful

attitude about you is. If they ask about their spraying, be sure
to let them know, as matter of factly as you can, about the
correlation between their spraying and the damage to your tomatoes.

healthy to begin with, you could take a few and try removing the new
growth - pinch back. Kind of like sucking the venom from a snakebite
(OK, I think that's just Hollywood, but the principle is the same).
Only if you leave it go, you're too late. The stuff works it's way to
the roots and then kills the plant.
Or maybe there was something else going on, and they wilted from too
much sun, just coincidence re: neighbors. I do know one thing, if I
had even slightly misted my 'mater plants with roundup, they'd be
dead. Karma is a real.. you know.
That's why I'm graduating to a flamer this year. Could be fun if I
don't blow myself up.
Flame on!

Maybe the Dept. Of Ag where you live can suggest something resistant to
RoundUp.

I have used our weed burner to burn the dried weeds/grass off a garden

the grass dries out enough to burn, but before the whole neighborhood is
dried-out, so I don't start a forest fire.
We have a big hemp nettle infestation down on the ranch, but I was told
to not flame kill it. It's in the loafing area where our cows hang out
all winter, so the soil is real heavy in organics, which will catch fire
like crazy, once it dries out.

I was mostly interested in burning out green weeds in my gravel
driveway. It's a bitch to weed. <g> I don't like to use roundup because
my herb garden is next to the driveway and I have border plants I don't
want to damage with any drift.
I normally just attack them with the weed eater and mow them all the way
to the ground.

Does it work on your newsreader?
It doesn't on mine.
Mine has a "fix url" option which does the trick.

when you see text on the next line in an email where a link has been
placed, you need to copy and paste both parts or ever how many lines,
starting with the 1st.
Works every time.

Works with Outlook Express also, but it's less key stroke to just copy
and paste.

Only if I <> it, but even then, I have to copy/paste into Firefox from
MT newswatcher. I can't just click on it.
The other way, I have to paste it into a textfile, fix it, then
copy/paste. ;-)

Mine does not. It's a two step process, but your link was worth the

Thanks for the suggestion.
My newsreader (an old one but I keep it because it doesn't do some of
the things new newsreaders do and _does_ have an extensive filter set)
_has_ a "Fix Url" function which sorts it all out.
What the newsreader doesn't do, is automagically fix urls or treat urls
that are enclosed in < > as a complete entity..

Radish tops can also be used in salads, as I found out last year when
about all there was to my radishes was tops.

I can't recall the thread he said that in, (probably the one where I was

There are some varieties of radish grown specifically for their pods.

I use a tank sprayer filled with vinegar to spray weeds. It kills
them in about two days. Spray when there is no rain expected for a
few days. Cheap, effective, and biodegradeable.

Anything special about the vinegar?

They seem to be delighted to help. They've even mailed me information on
specific plantings when I wanted to do more landscaping with local
plants to conserve on water.
I've put in a few Lantana for a start. I really like their blooms and
leaves.

An old man that lived next door to another neighbor sprayed a shrub on the yard
line that he didn't like. A tree sprayer noticed the damage and asked the
neighbor what happened to the shrub. After being told, he reported it to the
state EPA, who sent someone out to have a stern talk to the old man.

I'm afraid your tomatoes are doomed. Glyphosate (Roundup) Is a
relatively slow acting systemic herbicide. Even if by some miracle they
do survive I doubt they will thrive, even after a sniff of the stuff.
Replant now is my advice.
