Tomato - First Lady ll
The Tomato Pole First lady II, 'Lycopersicon Lycopersicum', is earlier, tastier, more disease resistant than Early Girl. They are crack resistant and are large for an early tomato. It is very hard to find a tomato that matures this quickly and tastes this good and have great disease resistance. The First Lady II is resistant to nematodes. First Lady II is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. They may also be seeded outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. ... find out more
Cauliflower - Brocoverde If you like cauliflower, then try this new, green variety. The taste is quite sweet, and Brocoverde takes the spring heat better than regular cauliflower, thus making spring plantings more successful in northern climates. Either raw or lightly steamed, you will love the flavor of Brocoverde. The Brocoverde are a green headed, semi-domed cauliflower with 1 pound heads. Plant in the early spring, 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost or late summer, 12 weeks before the first frost for fall harvest. Late summer planting is recommended in hot summer areas or short spring areas. Cauliflower like rich, moist, well drained soil with lots of organic matter. Keep soil moist and water deeply at least once a week. Harvest the heads when buds are tight by cutting the stalk below the head. |
