BC palm trees VS S. ON polar vortex
Comments (8)I just had 19C today in Toronto and the weatherman says that a snowstorm might come later this weekend around the 401 corridor. If we are lucky it will hit just to our north but we will see freezing temperatures. Toronto can get ice to bring down trees, snow storms but not hurricane blizzards like the US-Canada east coast, and of course damaging thunderstorms with a twister in the area possible all summer. Damaging hail can also fall in my region but is not common like Texas. The west coast of Canada has a much gentler climate and they have been gardening for some time now in that area. My grass is about to start growing. April might be a battle between winter and spring but May can be a sudden switch to summer weather. Canada is large but mostly cold in winter as reputed. Russia has a milder area around Sochi were they grow palm trees. Palm trees can only grow on the west coast of Canada. Both Canada and Russia are so large that they have their milder corner. You should visit Canada. Toronto for its skyline and Vancouver for its exotic beauty....See MoreTwo tomato seedlings together in one pot
Comments (12)Sharon, thanks LOL It's in direct proportion to how much time, effort, and money it takes. It can range from just windy, to 25 with gusts to 40, overcast, downpour, hurricane. If it's really important, and really expensive, the earth opens up and just swallows me! LOL Got the Rutgers and Lemon Boys divided and planted today. Gave the others a boost with liquid fertilizer. Then ran out of potting soil. dangit Got to make another dirt run before I can pot any more up....See MoreTwo Sun Gold tomato seedlings in one pot: is it too late?
Comments (13)zornitzayoung, why not just plant a single plant and don't remove any suckers? There's no reason to prune except lack of space. If there's room for two plants, planted in the same hole, with one stalk each, then why not a single plant with 2, 3, or 4 stems? I should add that I was raised to prune to the main stem, but realized how severely that limited yield. Then again, I suppose there might be an advantage to 2 separate plants if the season is particularly short. The second plant would bear a week or two before the oldest sucker on a single plant would. You don't give a location or a USDA zone, so I can't tell if that might be the reason. === A few years back, due to family illness, I didn't start my own seeds. The plants I bought were from Bonnie, and many had suckers coming up through the planting mix (which didn't bother me -- and they were pretty determined suckers!). The Black Krim turned out to be two plants of different varieties. When I realized that, I gave them more water than the other tomatoes, but for whatever reason, toward the end of the summer, the BK died. I don't know how typical that is when two plants are started together and barely pruned. [The tomato that survived -- a dark pink egg that didn't match anything Bonnie was selling that year -- was one of the few highlights of a difficult year.]...See MorePlanting two trees very close together
Comments (12)Joe and spedigrees, yes it does occasionally happen in nature. If I wasn't such a slacker, I should really take some photos showing scenes in the big "cedar swamp" up at my land. There, quite a few-a surprising number actually-northern white cedar started growing and at some point, faster-growing paper birch germinated right next to them, and it was off to the races for these odd pairings. Whenever I'm there, I get this sensation of like "Friends for life" or some such nonsense....what adds to the coolness is these are very large specimens for both species, this evidently being a pretty old stand. And in most cases, both partners are still alive and well! Now this is a serious swamp, full of cold-water springs and also a part of a stream bottom area, so very cool and always moist. Both tree types, along with plenty of super-canopy white pine, are very at home in such a situation. But it sure is odd to see all those combos! Some of the biggest tip-up mounds I've ever seen too, and some of those have trees growing out of them....See MoreHU-435404624
