I got another seed catalogue in the mail today from Burpee, one of America’s great producers of heirloom seeds, hybrids and plants. One of their tomatoes, “Brandy Boy” is a favorite of mine, and whenever I start my tomatoes from seed, I always [...]

I didn’t even know I had tomatoes out there – and my decision to ignore the plants has resulted in my losing a few to blossom end rot. This is a condition where the blossom end of the fruit, either tomatoes or eggplants, turns black, leathery and often results in the complete loss of the [...] Tomato Tree This takes the upside down growing bag to new heights. I think it’s a great idea. Click on the picture to take you to Gardener’s Supply. They recommend Better Bush tomatoes for growing upside down, and they sell them too, I believe. There’s room for three full-size tomato plants inside this oversize growing bag. It [...] I picked another quart of cherry tomatoes this afternoon. Those Sweet Million plants just keep on producing. I’ve probably gotten 4 or 5 gallons per plant this season! As I was inspecting my new plants, I pulled off the dead branches at the bottom. I don’t know why they do that, but the big tomato plants [...]
I am loving these grow bags with the tomato automators. With NO attention from me, these plants are zooming upward and outward. Now they are beginning to blossom in nice clusters of blossoms.

Delve into the vegetable section and see what healthy [...]
Planted April 5th, and zooming up to the top of the cage, these tomatoes are growing so fast! In one week the Brandywine tomato on the left has grown a foot higher! Both of these babies have blossoms forming already. I love these tomato automators and the grow bags. I’ve pretty [...] I planted these little seedlings exactly 23 days ago. I have never, ever seen tomato plants flourish so quickly! I walked outside and said “WOW!” I couldn’t believe how big and healthy these two plants are. On these, I did everything right. I set up the growing bags with good soil and good organic slow [...] It’s been raining since last night, a quiet, steady, gentle rain. I’m thankful. We need a good drenching. My garden is loving it, too. It’s a good start to the week. Newly planted tomatoes need lots and lots of steady moisture. Now is when they are all developing those healthy root systems, and the well drained [...] I have seen these for years at many gardening sites and in all the catalogues, and I must admit I’ve always been intrigued by them. This product is called a tomato automator. Here’s what Gardener’s Supply has to say about it: These deceptively simple tomato plant surrounds will produce healthier, more productive tomato plants with less [...] |
