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 [...]

Compost is the result of organic material that’s been decomposed by aerobic decomposition into rich soil. Nothing nourishes your garden like good compost. Making compost is simple and easy. You can use any number of the many composting devices sold, and if you live in the city or suburb, definitely need an enclosed compost bin. [...] I recently purchased one of these foldable combination seat/kneelers for my husband. He’s a faux finish painter and his knees take a beating. Not only is he up and down doing baseboards or walls, but he kneels in all this construction dust and his skin really suffers. I saw this handy looking kneeler in Gardener’s [...] 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 [...] In my ever increasing effort to host a work free, maintenance free garden this summer, I have invested in something called watering spikes. I ordered them from Gardener’s Supply and can’t wait to see how well they work. It’s spectacularly comfortable weather today, cool, sunny, non-humid; Rick is washing his van and my car; I will be out among the vegetables, in the garden. Even with intensive raised beds, vegetable gardening does require some work. It’s not much, really, but it must be done on a weekly basis, so when the weather is [...] I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: raised beds are the best way to grow vegetables. When it comes to raised beds, the deeper they are, the better. Soil levels settle with rain, and I like at least 10″ depth for growing most vegetables. My beds are 18″ deep, mainly because the greater [...] My thoughts are turning to those gardeners north of zone 10. As I was browsing through Gardener’s Supply’s web site, I found some great season extenders. I’ll include links for you both now and in future blogs that will take you right to their site. Just click on the photos, like the one above. This [...] The nation is pretty much freezing today, South Florida being no exception. I uncovered my garden beds for a day on Friday, re-covered them yesterday in preparation for another 5 or 6 days of cold weather. Once the threat of frost is gone I’ll uncover them; in the mean time, they’re surviving. Plants go into [...] Some of your vegetables will need support, especially in a raised bed, to help them grow upward, not outward. The trellis provides an anchor for vining crops like beans, cucumbers, peas, even cantaloupe and squash. For tomatoes, I prefer using cages. I’m not talking about those round things they sell at the local garden shop. Those [...] |
