Tomato - Jet Star
Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. The indeterminate vines produce heavily with or without support, but support is recommended. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. The Tomato Jet Star, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', produces tasty, mild-flavored fruits that matures early with tremendous yields. This early variety is compact and provides good flavor and low acidity. Jet Star is a great slicing variety. Jet Stars have large tomatoes that have few scars or cracks. ... more information
Herb - Spearmint Spearmint is used in teas, flavored teas, sauces, jellies, and vinegars; leaves in fruit salad, and in peas, plus many more. The plant is easy to grow if wet soil is provided. Spearmint is grown commercially for the essential oil, which is used in gum. The Spearmint, 'Mentha spicata', is the classic mint. Spearmint marries well with lamb, and minted apple jelly and lamb are a classic twosome. The spike of purplish flowers is produced in the summer. Cut back to the ground at least twice/summer. |
