Growing Tomato Plants in Containers
Aug 31st
Growing tomato plants in containers is a great way to garden if you don’t have the space. Tomato plants growing in a pot on the porch or patio can produce just as many tomatoes as a garden and it’s a great recipe for successful, tasty and juicy tomatoes.
When choosing a container, choose a ceramic or pottery container that’s about 6 inches round and 5-7 inches deep. If the tomato plant outgrows the container, you can easily transfer it to a bigger pot. Make sure to place the pot in a dish so when you water the tomato plants, the dish can More >

How long will flower & vegetable seeds (in their orginial packages) last?

I recently received a bag with an assortment of seeds – flowers (annuals & perinials) and vegetables. Before I plant, I need to know if these are actually still good. Do seeds have a “shelf life?” Some packages have dates stamped on them.

Hydroponic nutrients Gardening Guide – Hydroponic nutrient solutions composition
Aug 29th
Nitrogen (N)
The most essential of all nutrients for leaf and stem development. Nitrogen consumption depends on a plants growth cycle and in a vegetative growth phase of plant nitrogen consumption is greatest. Hydroponic nutrients solutions labeled as “grow” or “flower” contains more concentrations of nitrogen. Nitrogen deficiency is the leading cause of plant growth in indoor hydroponic garden systems. Yellowish, soft and weak plants and leaves are tell-tale signs of nitrogen deficiency.
Half-strength nitrogen solutions are ideal for plants between growing phases. This will prevent plant stretch while it’s switching its energy over to flower development. Normal feeding is resumed once More >

Is the plant called Columbine (Aquilegia) biannual or perennial?
Aug 28th
I bought these seeds of Columbine flowers and it says they are perennial. Perennial means that they live many years, like trees, for example.
However, some people told me they are biannual. That means they produce their foliage during the first year, and they bloom in the second year. A biannual plant dies at the end of the second season.
So what is the Columbine? A perennial or a biannual plant? Oh, I think it’s spelled biennial…
