http://www.durgan.org/URL/?DDATG 15 February 2014 Starting Tomato Seeds for 2014 Some tomato seeds were started for the 2014 season in the greenhouse. Selected were Lemon Boy,Bonny Best,Big Beef Hybrid, and Black Krim. Only five plants of each are required. Each seed type was placed in one pot, and will be transplanted into individual pots when they get large enough.The soil was my own home made in the Summer. Each pot was placed in a plastic bag until germination to keep the moisture level high. The pots were placed on a heating mat in the small greenhouse. http://www.durgan.org/URL/?IEVCS 11 September 2013 Seedling Soil |

We have a farm next to us where beef cattle spend their summers. There Is wonderful compost there for the taking, makes great foundations for everything I grow. We cannot plant tomatoes out until Well into June so I don't start them too soon. |

I am heading to Seedy Saturday soon. No idea if there is any use starting a garden with the house on the market but one comment given a realtor was that there is not anywhere to have a garden. They also said 'too many cedars' so most likely would not want to live in this area. Ample space for full sun garden, shade garden, herb garden and flower garden! |

http://www.durgan.org/URL/?HGJNN 9 April 2014 Repotting tomatos. Some tomatoes were moved to larger pots. The main reason at this time is to make watering easier.The larger pot holds more moisture and watering times are not so critical.The plants are watered from the bottom by immersing in a container of water. This will be the last move until the plants are placed in the ground at the end of May.Pictures depict the process. |
