Plant 2 weeks before the average last frost date. In mild climates, Burnet can be seeded in the fall. Burnet will grow in just about any soil and actually prefers and tastes best in poor, dry soils. Soil also must be well drained. Keep flower stalks pruned for the best tasting foliage. ... details
Tomato - Black Krim The Tomato Pole Black Krim. 'Lycopersicon Lycopersicum', is an early, rich flavored old heirloom from the Crimean peninsula of Russia. Black Krim sets well in the heat and is a heavy producer. It is a "novelty" that does not sacrifice taste. Black Krim produces good sized, black, beefsteak-sized tomatoes with a rich, earthy, almost smoky flavor. Black Krim is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. |
