Comments (3)Ditto on what garden gal said. I had 'Razzmatazz' for about 8 years and it diminshed last year - no apparant reason. I'm sure it won't be back this year. 'Coconut Lime' was very strong last year; looks like a good one. 'Tiki Torch' also seemed strong; but time will tell. I have about 35 cultivars and species in my garden. I expect vigor when I plant one. I want big fat stems and bold bright blooms. I don't want any native sissy hybrids that give the rest a bad reputation. I will try 'All that Jazz' this year among others. Here's a link to some other new ones - you may want to take a peak. I won't add all of these to my gardens, but 'Milkshake' sure looks like a cutie pie. Oh, they all do! I have no willpower. I'll killl them all about a dozen times and die in the poorhouse. ~Mickie Here is a link that might be useful: Cone-fections...See MoreImpulse buying -- annual seeds!
Comments (23)Well, I was good (sort of). Dh and I visited a local upscale garden place I've been meaning to check out (it was near a job site), and amazingly enough, they had some seeds out. So, I picked up a packet of spinach seeds, and planted some last night. It was labelled for 2009, and was pretty big, so I should be set for next year, too. So, I managed to resist ordering a bunch of stuff from Pinetree. Otoh, I marked up my Pinetree catalog with lots of ideas for next year - mostly veggies, but a few annuals, too. I was excited to see they have the varieties of asparagus & strawberry that I want to plant, so they will probably be getting a big order from me, assuming they don't discontinue them. (Unlikely - I want popular ones)...See MoreThank you, Alexa/elf 2006!!! Lots of pics.!
Comments (5)Whew--yes it does, Alexa!! I should have labeled them more carefully--but, you know how that goes sometimes!! So--ken--"I am so excited about 'Green With Envy'....!!" Shall I start this epic over or can you remember what I've said already, but thanking 'you' for that one, instead??? And, Alexa, did I tell YOU how great 'Paradise Joyce' is looking?? hahaha Being so well-travelled it's a testament to how tough hosta really are, isn't it!!! Thank you, Alexa, for straightening things out for me!! Keep remembering, in case I forget again, okay? ;o) Janice...See MoreWhy are my tomatoes dying from the bottom up?
Comments (12)My first thought looking at the leaves of your tomatoes was that they needed watering, or maybe they have been overwatered. Do you check the moisture of the growing medium 3-5 inches below the surface? Watering in a container is much different from watering a plant in the ground. Do you have one of those saucers that usually go with that kind of pot? If so when you water your plant, wait about 30 minutes and then drain that saucer. If you leave water standing in it, you are depriving the tomatoes of air for the roots and they will drown. GardenWebber sprouts_honor (Jennifer from Cleveland) had a wonderful suggestion on how to tell whether or not you need to water your tomatoes, and I quote here: "Get a wooden dowel rod (or two) and sink it in the ground near a plant or two and leave it. Pull it out when you think you need to water. If the top is dry and the bottom is a little damp, it's time to water. If it looks dark and feels saturated, wait to water. I use this technique with potted plants that don't like being over watered and it's helpful with in ground plants too." Also when you water a plant in a container, the process tends to wash away the nutrients in the growing medium so they will need to be fed frequently. Many container growers use a water soluble balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10, diluted to 1/3 or 1/4 recommended label strength and use it to water every 10 days to two weeks. Good luck with your tomatoes. Betsy...See MoreRelated Professionals
