I am new to gardening and bought 2 green houses. I live in the Lancaster, Calif desert where it is either very hot or very windy.
My plants (tomatoes,peppers and misc herbs were doing very well inside the green house untilย Iย had to remove the tomatoes since they were so full and so high. I put them outside the greenhouses and now my thick tomato plants have thinned out and look terrible plus no tomatoes.
That is a problem in and of itself but my herbs which Iย left inside the greenhouse looks like there is mold growing on the top soil of all my herbs as well as the onions, carrots and peas Iย planted that are all still left in the greenhouse. These plants are in direct sunlight from 6 am though 5 30 pm. I water once a day for the plants inside the greenhouse and twice a day for the tomatoes and peppers unless the temperature is above 80.
What can I do for the mold on the plants inside the green house and what is happening to my beautiful tomatoes to make them so thin and sickly looking? Should I put them back in the green house? Is it too windy for them (some days about 20 mile an hour winds) most day between 75 and 90 degrees .
PS…I used organic soil and fertilize every 3 months with miracle grow and had to use neem oil for something that was eating holes in the leaves. Pus I have a lot of white moths that keep coming back as well as a few flies. I know flies sometimes leave eggs but I am watching for bugs hence the Neem oil.
I just don’t know why my luscious plants look so thin and sickly now. Can anyone help me with these two problems?…Thank you…Jo Ann
