What kind of mutant cucumber is this?
Comments (5)I agree with the others, Hun. Those are the pickling-type cukes. Pick them when they are the size of a large dill pickle or medium-large sweet pickle. After that they become hollow and left on the vine, they will turn yellow. You can save those yellow ones for seeds or just toss them into your compost heap. Keep your vines picked daily so they will keep producing cucumbers. There's always one or two you miss, even when you pick every day and look carefully through the vines. :) Gotta go move my soaker hose now. I'll be back later. Have a good time...whatever you do! ~ sweetannie4u...See MoreWhat kind of bug bores into tomato stems?
Comments (0)So I had some tomatoes that were in containers and they start to wilt, didn't think to much of it, but then they never recovered. After pulling them tosay, I noticed a couple bore holes in the stem. Who's the culprit?...See MoreWhat kind of tomato?
Comments (7)Thanks for trying to help. The seeds came from a trade with no info except for "Heirloom tomatoes - 64 varieties" on the small ziplock baggie. The taste is mild, slightly acidic, and the texture is kinda mushy/mealy. It's not the greatest flavor to me but the fruits are beautiful. You're right though - not enough info. I may stick with some of my other named varieties that have better taste like Paul Robeson. What are some other black tomatoes that you all recommend for flavor?...See MoreWhat kind of tomato is this??
Comments (7)We have 2 San Marzano plants. One doesn't seem to like it's spot and is stunted, but it's the first to get ripe tomatoes. The other one is huge and knows no bounds and is still forming new tomatoes even in 100 degree heat. The Agapanthas you see is a great for attracting bees and hummingbirds. I always plant flowers for that purpose near my veggies. We water ours by drip once daily for about 15 minutes. They seem to like it. I am a bit of a rebel and I do use aspirin spray every couple weeks. I think it works. Below is the stunted one with the ripe tomato. It is in a cage to prevent critters from attacking it. We live on the edge of the wilderness and there are many critters. I didn't plant tomatoes for their benefit!! The dead plant you see is cilantro with lots of coriander seeds. I'm hoping the aroma of that will defer any critter away from that one ripe tomato. We will pick it tonight....See Morecatherinet
