We don't mulch because we're constantly turning over crops and planting new ones, which often have a different row spacing than the previous crop. So mulch would be quite the impedance to replanting each time. Also, we like to do quite a bit of cover cropping, which can be tough to do in mulch.

Are you in the Southern Hemisphere? Tomatoes are self-pollinating with perfect flowers, so accidental cross pollination is pretty rare unless you have a ton of very active pollinating insects and many plants in very close proximity flowering at the same time. Most gardeners can grow multiple varieties of tomato and save seed without a problem. If you aren’t saving seed, then it doesn’t matter at all if there is cross pollination. Cross pollinating diff tomato varieties usually has to be intentional and involves emasculating flowers and moving pollen from other flowers with forceps.

The supersweet varieties can tend to be a little shorter than the traditional varieties like Silver Queen. Might want to give one of those a shot.

Which of these tools would make weeding easier for an older lady? The Push Pull Hoe or the Stirrup Hoe?
@gardeningwithhoss3 жыл бұрын
You'll probably find the push pull hoe a little lighter and easier to use.

UPS sends some of their packages thru the USPS! What does that tell you. They over charge their costumers!
@gardeningwithhoss3 жыл бұрын
UPS has a feature called "surepost" where they use USPS. It is less costly than standard UPS, but is typically very slow. It usually takes a week or two for delivery. As a result, we don't use it.

Have had a few folks mention this variety, but not really sure why. We can get it, but I'm not really impressed with the disease package on Jet Star. Seems to be an old hybrid that doesn't have the vigor of the newer hybrids.

Travis so sorry about your brassicas. Now you're ate up with rabbits, but squirrels are my nemesis. I know they're God's creation but I hate a squirrel. They did what the rabbits did to your broccoli and brussel sprouts. I've received my elephant garlic, sunsugar, big beef tomato, and the gypsy pepper. May go ahead and order the lemon boy and the purple boy.

@@gardeningwithhoss I definitely will. I'm growing Fall Corn for the first time and it has tasselled, set ears with silk. I've fed it with Chilean Nitrate, 20-20-20, and micro boost yet it seems to be slow growing. Could the cold snap have slowed the growth? I'm in Jackson, MS zone 8b and we've even had 39 degree weather around the beginning of November.
