4 comments to U Pick Farms – 2010

  • A single of the finest tomato gardening ideas I learned that really has made the biggest distinction when planting them, is that it is truly essential to plant tomatoes deep. The deeper you can plant them the far better. Your objective is to establish a strong root system utilizing the stem of the plant as a sort of rod and roots growing not only from the bottom of the stem but off the sides. The stronger the root method, the much less likely they will fall all over the place as the plant grows bigger.

  • Totally agree – we usually “trench” plant ours when first setting them up with water insulators – better roots make for a better plant!

  • Madness takes its toll. Please have exact change.

  • Having just discovered the greatness of farming in our own backyard, I have to say potato soup is our favourite of the month. I found a website dedicated to just potato soup recipes, can you believe it?!. There’s a website for anything nowadays it appears!
