Tomatoes

I think this might need it's own category, don't you? Tomatoes are one of the most popular things to grow and we've been placing them in all kinds of groups, but the fact is we almost all grow them, and they have specific needs.

Stuart Millar replied to Chris Bocchino's discussion 'Garlic Growers'

I didn't have the patience to wait until fall so planted 30 something cloves a month ago. Shoots are a few inches long already. According to 'Great Garden Companions' garlic planted in spring will produce bulbs, but may be smaller. i'm hopeful.

Stuart Millar commented on Michelle W. Flannery's group 'Orchards'

Very sad to see only 3 or 4 blossoms on my five apple trees. The trees are several years old and came to me from a large orchard 2 seasons ago. Last year they were ravaged by gypsy moths so we had nothing. This winter i pruned - i was worried i wo...
