2006 Garden Notes

2006 Garden Notes need good staking system for Tom's...rain and wind knock them over when heavy with fruit. Prune the crazy beautiful foliage off tom's so the energy goes into fruit. Stagger plant so you don't get entire harvest at same time = a lot of waste. Plant snow peas and onions earlier. Add sand to soil for root veg. Turnip greens and spinach attract flea beetles like crazy. Even pretty weeds are still weeds, they take over the beds.
