Have You Planted Your Tomatoes
from howconnie on 04/14/2015 06:15 AMWhose planted their tomatoes already?
In my zone I was told to wait another month to direct sow tomatoes but I decided I would plant some early and some later.
I've got tiny Burbank, black krim, marglobe, and wild cherry starts out. Got some unknown from a local exchange.
My current tomato plant insist on being a perennial; lazy gardener that i am left the dead wood in the ground thinking it would make a nice trellis. Well as soon as the weather warmed and I applied compost tea it started producing suckers from the Brown wood. Got a few berries now.
Is there a perennial tomato or is mine just delaying the inevitable?
Have you planted? When will you put them out? Which ones?
ReplyRe: What's your all time favorite tomato?
from howconnie on 04/14/2015 03:31 AMIm new to home grown tomatoes and not very good at it. Last year I got a one marglobe, indigo rose, and bunches of current and cherry.
The current was my preferred small tomato because it was sweeter and the size of a blueberry. Of course it too labor intensive to harvest but great to eat while gardening. The plant is a year old, I started fertilizing the soil and she started producing new tomato clusters and foliage.
Indigo rose was my favorite mid size tomato it was delicious and hope to get more tomatoes this year.

from katjaqu on 04/13/2015 08:10 PMI really love your pepper plants!
Do you dehydrate peppers for pepper powder or do you use them for salsa?

Re: HAVE: Horseradish Plant Root
from katjaqu on 04/13/2015 05:45 AMI usually grow two to three plants pre basket about 8" or so apart depending on how large the basket is. You can grow them in a large pot but you will need plenty of drainage so they don't rot.
You don't want to transplant them once they are established. They will have lots of tiny little peanuts growing on them and you could shock them and stunt their growth.
Best to give someone the seeds and let them direct sow them where they can grow uninterrupted.
I did a post a few weeks ago on how I grow them.
Here the link for the post

Re: HAVE: Horseradish Plant Root
from howconnie on 04/12/2015 11:14 PMThanks, my package arrived and that is some beautiful horseradish, going to share the peanuts with my seed savers club. Thinking I might start some plants for them.
How many peanut plants do you grow per laundry basket? How close together should I plant and could I transplant them or would I have to start a new seed?
Thank you.
