Growing Tomato Plants in Containers

Aug 31st

Posted by Rob in Growing Tomatoes

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 >

Obviously each of us will have different ideas on what we want so I will start off with a quick list of the things to consider when choosing which tomato variety to grow.

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.

Aug 29th

Posted by Rob in Greenhouses

The main purpose of a greenhouse is to use the solar energy of the sun to trap heat into it during the winter season, cloudy days and throughout the night.

A solar greenhouse does more than collect the heat that the plants will need for growth.  We’ll get to that in a few moments.

Types Of Solar Greenhouses

With so many choices available you are sure to find one that will meet your needs.  If you have the room in your backyard then a freestanding greenhouse would be ideal for you.

The two primary designs are the Quonset type and the shed type.

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 >

We rent a house that has poppies that come up every year. unfortunately I am very allergic to them. If I even brush past them I break out. I want them GONE ASAP and I would like to plant new flowers. I’m thinking about planting tulips or Lantanas. How can I safely kill off the poppies and plant new flowers as soon as possible? How long will I have to wait to plant new flowers?

Is the plant called Columbine (Aquilegia) biannual or perennial?

Aug 28th

Posted by Rob in Q&A - Perennials

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…
