What I learned this month....



Hybrid tomatoes will grow very large and should be penned up with the larger tomato cages. If you use the smaller cages with the hybrid and don't trim off half the plant, the plant will grow up and pull the cage out and over. (Yes, there is a small tomato cage in the tomato plant above!!) Perhaps I will look into proper pruning of tomato bushes.

Nasturtiums like lots of water and fertilizer! My husband planted a couple nasturtiums under my rose bush to surprise me and they are doing so much better than the nasturtiums I planted in the front row of my flower beds.
Snap peas should not be picked until they are absolutely bulging and the flower has been pushed off the end.
