You didn’t think Plants On Deck was going tomatoless, did you?
After last year’s abundance of well-documented tomato woes (and not such an abundance of tomatoes), this year’s hybrid fixation/experiment includes tomatoes, too. Here’s hoping these compact determinates produce more vigorously than last year’s bug-ridden indeterminates.
Patio Princess Hybrid: “Just the right size for small pots, while 2-3 plants will file a large tub. Each 24″ plant produces an abundance of 2 1/2 – 3″ fruits.”
Sweetheart of the Patio Hybrid: “This compact super producer bursts with snack-ready supersweet baby cherries about 1″ round.”
Tomand Hybrid: “Tomato connoisseurs rave about the flavor of these broad-shouldered beauties. Fleshy, juicy and flavorful, ‘Tomande’ will treat gourmet gardeners to both heirloom taste and abundant hybrid yields.”
(Of course, Champ is heading back into the ring for another round.)
WARM! Be patient, POD. Don’t transplant those seedlings until Philly’s enjoying open-window 60° nights. 60°. pH 6.0-6.8. Well fertilized (esp. phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.) Consider plastic “mulch” in the early part of the season. 60°.
Beware of “patio” tomatoes. They can taste terrible. Have you tried to grow tomatoes in a grow box? Great for beginners. Best way I’ve found to grow toms.
Why? So you can marvel at all the absolutely useless crap floating around in its largely empty halls? xo
I think I would get lost in your brain. Like maybe even in the lobby.
