good evening all,
cold and starting to snow again, in the mail the tomato growers supply catalog came today. This coming spring I will be a bit smarter with my tomato crop.
1) Will plant no more then 2 vines per large pot need to get a handful more pots.
2) Will not waste any time planting tomatoes in range of a black walnut tree.
3) Will fertilize as well as water regularly (last time just watered did not bare much fruit that way).
4) Will grow some early mid and late season varieties so that there may be tomatoes all season long.
5) Will start seeds earlier than last few times.
In addition to Ox heart and Cherokee purple I will be growing Early girl cold tolerant hybrid , Box car Willie(just have to grow them by the name alone), Sioux heat tolerant hybrid and yellow beefsteak varieties. The front porch will be lined up with very large pots. They get the morning sun and afternoon shade in the summer on my front porch. Parents back yard used to grow well until the people behind them planted a black walnut tree
for some reason veggies do not grow well near those trees :?:
