Tomatoes not growing...

There has been all kinds of advice for the driveway problems and next to nothing to help out Sarah. Hobo In the first few responses, it looked like it was pretty much decided there wasn't much to do since it appeared the Roundup was responsible for the tomato plants not growing problem. Sorry, Hobo, perhaps we should have changed the thread name. ??? We are back-yard gardeners, not computer gurus. Actually, the thread changed quite logically if you look at the posts in order so I'm not sure at what point the subject line should have been changed. Perhaps you can give advice as to that. Apparently it didn't bother anyone enough to change the subject line. As I understand it, a "high-jacked" thread is one that was changed totally with no reference to the original or preceding (or text from the previous) with the intent of misrepresentation. That did not happen here; there was no intent to deceive or to use the thread for spam or other purposes. Do you have a solution for Sarah? If so, please post it. It would be most appreciated. Glenna (who uses a real email address) Hi, Glenna No, unfortunately I don't have a solution for Sarah. There are many knowledgeable people in this news group and I was hoping to find more info and advice regarding the use of herbicides in the vicinity of gardens. The threads today have been most enlightening with some good info provided. I too am a back yard gardener. I have two plots each about thirty by fifty feet and I grow a wide variety of veggies and fruit. I try not to use herbicides and pesticides as much as possible but find that during the growing season they are sometimes needed and any info and opinions about their use is appreciated. As far as high-jacked threads are concerned, it usually occurs quite innocently such as happened here. Instead of changing the thread name as you suggested, a better approach would have been to start a new thread. This way people who wanted to respond to Sarah's problem, or follow the thread to see what info had been provided, would be able to do so in a natural progression instead of hitting thread after thread about driveway weed problems. And, no Glenna, I don't consider myself a computer guru - just someone who gets frustrated sometimes when things like this happen. As far as real email addresses are concerned, most people I know do not use them for usenet groups due to the potential spam problem. Having experienced this myself I have learned the hard way and take what steps I can to prevent it. Anyway, thanks for your comments. Hope you have a good growing season.
