I don't know why, she just said that an old farmer told her that and it always worked. Just make sure there are no less than five stalks in each row and at least five rows.

And remember to plant the rows far enough apart to get between them, otherwise you risk breaking the damned things and get cut to hell in the process.

(Corn is not my friend and there is a reason I don't plant the damned stuff any more.)
:rolleyes:
 
I got four of the little cherry tomato plants today for 40 cents each. I don't even like them but it's kind of a tradition. Someone will eat them. :)
 
Aha! My friend B is on her way here to drop off a tomato plant for me. This will be my first ever plant to grow and I am SO excited!!!

Any advice? Anyone?

I seem to kill every green thing I come near. Black thumb.

My babies!!

The one on the left is a pepper plant, the other one is a "Sweet Million" tomato plant. I am very excited to grow my own vegetables for the first time and very nervous because I have no clue what I'm doing. Last night I went and said goodnight to the plants, before bed, and this morning I checked on them and let them know I was nearby if they needed water or anything.

I can't wait to see my first tomato!

I recommend reading some gardening sites or getting a book. There's a ton of tips -- I can't remember them all offhand. You can just google "growing tomatoes" and you'll get plenty. You're going to repot the plants right? And then you need a tomato cage. Look into fertilizer. Water thoroughly every few days rather than every day. Peppers are pretty easy.
 
What do serious gardeners think about infomercial products like the Topsy Turvy?

I see an awful lot of those on porches and in backyards all over this city, but I haven't purchased one for myself.
 
My first tomato. I bought the 30 cent plants and not the 3 dollar ones so it took a while to get one going. I didn't know my garden buddy was in the picture. He does a walk through with me around sunrise most mornings.
 
I counted 20 little green tomatoes today. A few jalapeno and long slim red peppers have been coming along for a while. No beans yet. I finally found some Tabasco peppers.

I'm a non-serious gardener. I don't like plastic containers, but the upside down idea is ok. I just read something about it in the NY Times. Gardening experts think it's no better or worse than right side up container gardening.

WD - Your garden is huge. If you do have cats going back there, you really should put up a fence or something to keep them out. Especially if you plan on feeding the veggies to anyone who is pregnant, or little kids or anyone with a compromised immune system.
 
There are no feral cats around and the neighbor's cat is well fed and hasn't been known to kill anything. If it came down to his survival he probably would but he's just a gentle soul who loves all creatures.

My cat is kind of that way. But she only goes out with me and only for a few minutes at a time. When I first got her outside years ago she would stalk squirrels getting within two feet of them but she didn't attack.

Yeah, I know there are cats who are well fed who leave "gifts" on the porch often. Who seem to kill out of fun or maybe they feel like they are providing for the family? But a lot of pets aren't the killers some dog lovers make them out to be.

Dude - I'm talking about cat pee and poop. It's toxic. If you're not watching the whole time, you don't know who is doing what in there.

There are cats everywhere. Do you suggest every farmer in America seal off their crops? That would be expensive don't you think? If it were such a grave danger, I think Obama would warn me on TV.
 
Maybe Mr F. down the road will be on his porch tonight. He's had a garden for 65 years. I'll ask when he is going to put up a cat proof fence around it.

I drove all the way to Northern Nebraska once and saw nothing but farmland. Outside of St. Louis anyway. Didn't see one cat proof fence. It would make a good stimulus though. If we had a few trillion dollars lying around.

It's not a grave danger for everyone. It's a grave danger for some people. See JM's link above.

There is a big size and access difference between small backyard veggie gardens and professional farms of any kind, including industy farms and smaller operations. I doubt there are fifty cats wandering through earth best organics or whatever. But forget about it. Do whatever.
 
When I get pregnant I'll worry about it. It would take about 200 feet of fence at least six and half feet high then covered with chicken wire to cat proof it.

Risk vs reward kind of thing. At least 1600 dollars for the fence alone plus all the digging and concrete and chicken wire. It might get my picture in Mother Earth News, but most people here would think I had lost my mind.
 
Jeeze, WD, you didn't have to be so nasty about it. :rolleyes:

She was only making a helpful suggestion.
