Tip for the Tomato grower!

At home:

After pinching my tomatoes back twice, I found they were still looking a little lean and I finally asked my grower what I could do to keep my tomatoes short and strong. A good word was passed along, two actually. One, to keep them cool in the mornings, that will keep them short and to add egg shells to the top of the soil, so that when I water them, calcium goes into the plants and helps them get strong.

Andrea's Grow-op

With the purchase of a new house, this is the first season where I've been able to actually grow vegetables and I'm able to plant them into the ground! In my own garden! So with that in mind, in March, I planted up tons and tons of tomatoes and beans!

A few varieties of tomatoes though Tiny Tim's are the ones im looking forward to eating.

Here's some more seeds though I'm trying out my hand with perennials such as blackeyed susan's, Becky and blue fescue. I'm not sure how they'll do but we'll definitly have to see! Blue fescue is coming along but the blackeyed susans are fussy. Becky (shasta daisies) are just jumpin'! Should be a good year for them and eventually, I'll have some plants to put in by fall!

This si the first run of tomatoes.

This is the grow-op now! Tomatoes are in the front with the beans while all the covered ones are the annuals I plan to put in post and somewhere in my garden!
