Here it is: http://heirloomtomatoplants.com/ And, I did a typo in my previous post, Marianna's Peace is not 38" (that was last week). Marianna is now 47"!!!

It's true, isn't it?! In our weather, tomatoes can be quite an efficient little plant. I found a website recently for a company that sells heirloom tomatoes and they actually recommend planting some late season tomatoes and over-wintering them. If you're interested, I'll see if I can dig that...

Good! I'm glad that the transition from the hijacked thread to this one worked out OK. :) Nubsmum - I think it's great that the self-sufficient thing and the bigger garden is working out well for you and your family. Yes, in some ways it is more work, but in other ways, I find that it isn't...

My Monday report has come and gone (mostly gone) largely because there was little to report. Marianna's Peace is doing awesome! It's great to know that a little weakling can be nursed back to health by using a few tricks and tips! As of Monday, the plant is now 38" tall and is filled with...

In order to give back the "What did you pick today?" thread, our discussion is being moved over here. **** OK fellow guilty thread stealers ;) , I brought the thread over here, but YOU need to go back to the original thread and delete your posts over there. I can't do that for ya!

Pretty! Looks like it's coming along nicely. I love looking at gardens. Thanks for sharing yours!

Just wanted to say. . . This is a great idea for a thread! With our various climate zones, it'll be interesting to see who is harvesting what and when. I've subscribed to this and, while I have a small garden compared with the rest of you folks, I look forward to seeing what is growing in...

I think that's great Reinbeau! I would love that amount of space here, but a lot that is .45 acres with an 80 year old 2 bedroom tear down is nearly 1.5 million, and that's in this down market! While I may have perfect weather year round, 'cept for a few annoying days of the year, I live on a...

Did it strike during the day or at night? I've had similar problems and I'm pretty certain that it's roof rats. See my previous post: http://www.theeasygarden.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=23462 Last year they pretty much cleaned me out. I think I got fewer than 10 tomatoes all season. But...

It does stay 70 degrees year round! Avg Highs where I live: Jan - Mar: 64 Apr - May: 66 Jun: 68 Jul: 71 Aug - Sept: 73 Oct: 71 Nov: 68 Dec: 64 Yeah, I know . . . :smack OK, but that also comes with a zillion people, small lots, high housing prices, etc. So, we all have to make...

I might just do that, Reinbeau! I haven't fully looked it over, but I'm going to guess that it's only one clove, two at the most. If it's one clove, it's a HUGE one and should have lots of energy for next year! :D I tried to knock some of the dirt off and I hung it up to dry. Anything else...

I hate when that happens Simple Life. I grow a tomato plant outside my garden just for the girls. :) I picked a couple of tomatoes and some basil to serve over angel hair pasta. Yum! Oh, and I accidentally picked a garlic that I thought hadn't made it (it had only been in the ground 4...

Maybe there is hope after all!!! When I planted the garlic from my cousin, I stuck in a few bigger cloves from the grocery store, just to see what would happen. Most of those died, but there was one that I thought that was still going. It was a puny, shrimpy thing with a very thin stalk. For...

:frow Me too! I started at BYC1 in March 2006, then moved over to BYC2 in Jan. 2007. You'd think that I'd have a zillion posts by now, but I've only recently become "overrun with chickens." Same user name.

Well, Jordan, that stripey looking corn plant shore is purty. :rainbow-sun When you harvest, make sure you take pictures of the regular corn in comparison to the striped corn. This ought to be interesting. :pop
