Top Ten Tips

For tomato/vegetable garden success!



1.  'Tis Better to Plant a Twenty-Five Cent Plant in a Five Dollar Hole, Rather than a Five Dollar Plant in a Twenty-Five Cent Hole - emphasizing the importance of building the proper beds.

2.  Compost, Humus or Organic Matter - You say Toe-May-Toe, I say Toe-Mah-Toe… whatever you call it, it's a wonderful thing-Use it!

3.  Ensure Good Drainage - with our Feast or Famine rainfall, you'll eventually see why this is so important, or you'll drown your first attempt after a gully-washer.

4.  Let the Sunshine In - Pick a spot that can provide up to 6 hrs. of sunshine.. filtered light won't cut it.

5.  Pick Proven Varieties - Make sure it's approved for your growing region. In fact, check with your County Extension Agent for proven varieties.

6.  Cheat Mother Nature -- Because of our heat, if you can start 'em early more power to you, especially if your willing to protect them on late-freeze nights.

7.  Control Your Appetite - That means don't over-plant; Control that desire.

8.  Feed Me Seymore!!! - Veggies are heavy feeders (Just ask the Audrey II) the compost is a good start and a nice addition throughout, but amend that feeding with some kind of fertilizer, beit granular, liquid-organic or water-soluble.

9.  Keep Your Shadow in the Garden - That means get out there on a consistent basis, looking for insects, weeds and diseases. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure - as the old saying goes.

10.  Consistency, Consistency, Consistency - Consistent watering and consistent feeding are so critical. Don't ever allow allowing things to dry up before you water them back up.

Until next issue, here's to Great Gardening from the GardenLine, heard exclusively weekend mornings from 8 to noon on Talkradio 950 KPRC.
