I must have some type of fungus in the Greenhouse. This morning I noticed all of my nice bright orange Oranges and tangerines, had all reverted back to green. Evidently the fungus has also got into my Pomegranate tree, because I had a bunch of dark red ponegranates that were ready to pick and now they too are green. I also lost all of the red in my tomatoes. There was not a single red tomato on the entire vine. Everything was fine last night when I locked the greenhouse. I would appreciate any help - Millet

That's a very weird kind of problem. What was the temperature the past few days and the night the symptoms started? Did you have enough sunlight (snow covering the greenhouses could lessen sunlight)? I will ask other experts as to what would have caused this phenomenon.

It's one of those weird seasonal things that only happens in March. They'll be back to normal tomorrow.

I thought that only happened in April, and only on the first.

If you give them a good drink with green beer, they'll perk right up. SB

You need to take immediate action!!! you urgently need to plant SHAMrocks by the front door! the SHAMrocks attract and absorb the bacteria and turn it in to shillelaghs you might even find a gold coin or two after a few years.. Very Happy
Keep in mind it might help if you have some very short red heads tend to the bacteria till the SHAMrocks have time to take effect..
Hope this helps!!

He already has a gold nugget. Perhaps will get to eat it after a couple of years.
Very Happy

Alan you were 100% correct. Last night rexactly at midnight all of my fruit turned back to a nice golden orange color. Evern the tomatoes changed back from emrald green to red. However, this morning when I went into the greenhouse, I noticed someone had chased all the snakes out, I could not find a single one.??? - Millet
