Tomato Tips - repost

Do you want to have the biggest and sweetest tomatoes on the block? Here are a few basics to help you achieve that. Bury the tomato plants deeper than they were when you bought them, you can bury them all the way up to the top leaves. Your tomatoes will develop roots all along their stems. You can dig a really deep hole or simply dig a shallow furrow and lay the plant sideways. It will straighten up as it grows toward the sun. Just remember not to drive your stake or cage into the stem.

Pinch and remove suckers that develop in the V joint of two branches. They won’t bear fruit and the energy from these will now go to the rest of the plant. Do not over prune the plant. You can thin some leaves to allow the sun to reach the ripening fruit, but the leaves are photosynthesizing and creating the sugars that give flavor to your tomatoes.

Once the tomato plants is about 3 feet tall would be a good time to remove the leaves from the bottom foot of stem. This will help prevent fungus problems.

Enjoy your tomatoes and be sure to share with your neighbor!

Dare to compare!

Have you been to the local big box store and saw their annuals? We dare you to come check ours out. Be sure that you have looked good at the size of the six packs at these stores, especially how small the actual cell is. We use jumbo six packs for our plants to develop good roots not get root bound so that they start to bloom early. We can also tell you that we do not use insecticides that is common practice for nurseries. We released approximately 9,000 lady bugs to help prevent insects so feel safe when you are growing our tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, squash and zucchini. Also lets not forget our herbs. We also have not used any plant growth regulators (hormones) on any of our plants. Personally we do not know all the side effects of these things and our children are in the greenhouse all the time. If we do not feel it is safe for our family we are not going to expose you to it. We look forward to seeing you!

Are you going to do a vegetable garden this year?

If so you really need to come visit us. We have quite a variety because there were so many different tomatoes and peppers I was wanting to try. Our six packs are $1.50. In tomatoes we have - Better Boy, Beefmaster, Big Beef, Brandywine, Celebrity, Early Girl and German Johnson. In peppers we have - Bell Captain, Bell Boy, Sweet Banana, Pimento Elite, Long Slim Red Cayenne and Jalapeno. We have pickling and Burpee hybrid cucumbers. We have straight neck and crook neck squash and zucchini. Also we have Early Jersey and Late Dutch cabbage that several of you have already planted. This year we have also got several herbs to choose from. We have a 5 in 1 apple tree that looks really interesting with the pink and white blooms on one tree. There possibly could be some others but I can not remember them right now. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Easter Flowers

We have flowers for Easter. We can also wrap them and put bows on them for you. Also we can make up custom containers for you!! Happy Easter!

Freeze Warning

It is still too early to plant according to our average last frost date but I have to admit I have been guilty of planting early too. This week it is not even frost we are worried about as it is going to get very close to freezing on Monday night and below freezing on Tuesday night. If you have already taken a chance and done some planting try to cover it up to keep it from freezing. We will be keeping an eye on the weather for next week as the weather changes so much during this time of the year. We are taking care of all the vegetables and annuals that we have waiting for you. We have a good variety of tomatoes and peppers to offer you. We also have cucumbers and our squash and zucchini should be ready really soon. We look forward to seeing you!!
