I also bought some seeds from a retail shop by Hort Couture. I had to get the Purple Russian, Green Zebra and I strayed from tomatoes and got a cool French Melon and Lemon Cucumber. Ahh the garden life, I can't wait for the harvest. I checked out the tomato stakes, pretty cool. Maybe I can make my own with some old pvc laying around the nursery. Next I need to look into an organic fertilizer to use.LinerGrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834530239783735022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337387152154821425.post-64252206634173189772009-02-28T07:28:00.000-08:002009-02-28T07:28:00.000-08:00Haha!

I wish you the best but know only frustration and failure in my personal quest to grow a good crop of tomatoes in Texas. Maybe it's all that crappy San Antonio weather that sabotages my attempts. The stage I drought restrictions are about to kick in this month so I won't bother with a veggie garden this year. I swear I pour more money into water, compost and pesticides than it's worth. Next time I have that desire I'll just go the local farmers market. Perhaps you'll be more successful since it's at work.clrobbinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887388940264850235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8337387152154821425.post-53310631271239890902009-02-25T09:55:00.000-08:002009-02-25T09:55:00.000-08:00Hi... best of luck with your garden.I agree... th...Hi... best of luck with your garden.<BR/>I agree... the poor excuse for tomatoes they sell at the grocery store are worthless. No taste, just look pretty.<BR/><BR/>What are you planning to use to stake/support your tomato plants when they are ready? I have tried everything (the metal cages fall overr, and the bamboo/wood stakes rot and arent strong enough. I highly recommend The Tomato Stake.... got them last year and was so easy to use.<BR/>www.thetomatostake.com<BR/><BR/>Take a look... and good luck!Jane Ellishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17971909279209125502noreply@blogger.com
