I’m growing the black cherry tomatoes because of you. I had no idea they can go through winter and into spring, glad I just heard you say that! Mine are just now starting to form tomatoes. I grew 4 different types of tomato plants for fall and the black cherries are growing the best and the first to fruit.
I need to start using my leaves for mulch. I throw way too much away in the lawn recycling pickup.
I appreciated the advice on the tomatoes. I have tomato plants still going strong, but they need a prune.
Those Cabbage caterpillars are really something else. LOL! I pulled my 28th plump specimen off today. I check them every day on both sides of the leaves. I have always come across the articles or videos that say that they are on the outside of the leaves. Where I found them on the outside when the plant was younger, but now they are found on the inside of the leaves. I take them off and place them on another spare leaf and put it on a spot away from traffic and the lizards find a surprise in a short period of time. I have 7 individual Tomato plants this year and I an excited for them. I have even planted Beets this year along with another group of multi-colored carrots. I found out recently that each different color actually helps with different reasons for our health. Why didn't we know that sooner? LOL! Nice tender, and not so bitter collard greens!! 😊❤
Wow. It’s amazing how quickly everything gets so big. It looks so pretty. I still have collards growing. The leaves are huge. I haven’t harvested them because I’ve been told they will not taste good. I still want to use them in some way. Maybe dehydrate and use it as a powder for a tiny bit in my smoothie or in a soup? Maybe just leave them huge and cook with the soup but not eat them. Bone broth? Idk. What do you think? This was my first year growing or eating them
I did some cleaning today
Going to encourage my neighbors to grow thru the winter
I usually use leaves if i have some from all the trees around my balcony. Most of the time i make leaf compost. Put in a trash can that you put holes in. Or i find someone that got a chip drop off. My leave usually have pest damage. Im too paranoid that I'd infect other plants.
Must be a way tooo grow tomatoes in the winter!! They sell them in the shops at that time of year for a high price!!
It's been in the 70's in DFW Tx. YES 😊, thanks for your tips on growing tomatoes in a hot climate ❣️
Nice harvest of greens. Thank you for sharing. I usually start a new tomato plant from some of the suckers. As always, you give so many good tips.
Great information. Thanks for sharing! I’m part of a Facebook group and those ladies called me crazy for growing tomatoes right now! Glad I’m not the only one haha. I’m growing a few things that technically isn’t in season. I’m new here so I’m experimenting for myself what works and doesn’t work. Thanks again!
