Garden Plans & Seeds

Garden Plans & Seeds

Blum’s Almanac http://www.blumsalmanac.com/ said that yesterday (the 13th) was a good day to prune for getting rid of growth. I took the opportunity to cut down 3 trees that are shading my garden. With any luck they won’t sprout.

I also took the time to make a list of the seeds needed for the bedding plants that will be planted in the greenhouse. I can see them growing now. I compared the list with the seeds that I have left from last season. The next step will be to go to Renfrow’s Store in Matthews NC. I will see what seeds they have that are on my list. Some of the seeds I like are branded and can only be obtained from the catalogues. An example is the Porterhouse Beefsteak Tomato from Burpee. http://www.burpee.com/home.do .

The Porterhouse Beefsteak Tomato supposedly gets up to 4 pounds. Last year was the first year for that tomato. Mine did not get to 4 pounds; but they were big enough that 1 slice covered the sandwich bread and hung out on the sides. They were also the 1st seeds to germinate and the 1st plants to produce ripe tomatoes.
