Anyone ever grown Tithonia from seed?
Comments (9)belleville rose how long ago did you start them from seed? Are you in the south? I am in Canada so I haven't put mine in the ground yet. We got sleet and freezing rain last Wednesday so it has been not a good spring. They are starting to look a bit stressed at the moment as if they really would like to see some hot dry weather but it is still too early to put them out, I think. Our nights are still down to the low 40's F or 5-8 degrees Celcius. I put them outside today when it was up to 70 degrees F. and sunny. They still look sad though. Do you have any ideas?...See MoreAnyone Ever Grown Celery In A Home Garden??
Comments (22)Raybo, Celery should be mounded up with loose dirt at least 6 inches on the stalks to blanch the stems. Celery is mildly poisonous and blanching helps reduce the level of toxins. The leaves make excellent flavoring for soups and stews. Celery is a cool season crop best grown either in late fall or early spring. It can handle short periods of sub freezing temps down to 22 degrees, but this seriously slows down growth. Do NOT grow celery in the heat of the summer, it will not be happy. Knowing your climate, you could probably grow it successfully from either December or January seed start. It is best started in cell trays with 2 or 3 seed per cell. The above tip about taking 12 weeks from seed to transplant is pretty close. I've managed to transplant at 8 weeks but the plants are small. My suggestion would be to fill an earthtainer 1/2 full of a very rich soil mix and set the plants to grow. When the plants are nearly full size, fill the earthtainer up with peat moss to induce blanching. DarJones...See MoreHas anyone grown Mermaid?
Comments (17)I grew it sw of Houston. Very pretty blooms & they are abundant, over a long season. But. Almost everyone I know who has planted it regrets doing so, unless they stuck it way in a back pasture or used it specifically to cover an old shed or dead tree. Extremely exuberant, and the canes are viciously thorned. I mean REALLY vicious. Like the McCartney rose that has invaded pastures in the milder winter areas of TX. That's it's parent, after all, & it is a bracteata child, for sure. Will form enormous mounds of heavy canes like braided bobwire. Even young canes are almost untouchable they're so spiny. Very pretty in a huge space set aside for it. A monster on a normal rose arbor, I'd think....See MoreHas anyone grown these tomato varieties for TYLCV resistance
Comments (68)Nice to see you check in treefrog and thanks again for the seeds,i have 2 of the goosecreeks growing now from seeds you sent and one brandyboy. Im surprised i havent read no where on this site or rthe other of anyone growing florida pink. These huge, 2 to 3 lb fruits are a gorgeous light pink. Extremely juicy, sweet and crack free, Florida Pink out-produces most plants in our garden. With very few seeds, huge production and great flavor, it is a favorite for cooking and fresh eating. Setting fruit well in hot areas, this beautiful tomato will be a fine addition to your garden. thats what laurel says about it. rowdy red is another i think will do well im growing. Named by Gary Ibsen, the seeds of this variety came to Gary from tomato breeder, Archie Millett, who crossed his favorite tomato varieties over many years to finally produce a disease resistant tomato with intense flavor. 'Clint Eastwood's Rowdy Red,' is an open-pollinated tomato (78 days to maturity). The tall, indeterminate, plant produces lots of 2-inch (6-10 oz.), deep-red, round fruits with a subtle point on it's end. Fruit has robust, 'not for sissies,' bold, tomatoey flavors, with a firm, juicy flesh, that invites snacking in the garden, cooking, canning and seed-saving. Its fruity sweetness is perfectly balanced with plenty of acidity, earthy nuances and complexity. kirk Here is a link that might be useful: laurells tomato plants...See Morenomadic
