If you are relying on the magnesium in the match heads (as we who use epson salts are so doing) you won't see a difference until the blossoms arrive, when you can anticipate increased settings to fruit buddings we generally experience for tomatoes and egg plant fruiting.

I planted six with the matches and six without. So far, I can tell no difference and it's been about six weeks now. I dunno about this.... Also, if anybody can help---my green bean leaves are drying out and turning brown in splotches. They have plenty of water and this seems to be a disease rather than insects. They were Northrup seeds. Any fix for this and will I get green beans eventually??

Here the coyotes do run in packs..very rarely have I have seen them alone or hear only one hollowing. The neighbors down the road used to be sheep ranchers, but they finally gave that up do the fact that they were losing so many sheep to the coyotes, mountain lions and wild dogs. I miss hearing the baaing of the sheep. Now they lease out their land to cattle ranchers. The neighbors ran about a 1000 heads of sheep. We will have to do something to keep them out of the yard. One year during the drought the coyotes brought their pups right to the house to get water.(we have water out all of the times for our animals) I was able to see the pups drinking from the living room window one night.
