    2018 Landscaping/Gardening Thread

    Decided to start a thread for 2018 landscaping and gardening. All are welcome to post whatever they have going on, Especially you Texas/Florida folks who are blessed to actually have stuff going on this early in the year.

    Starting the year off on an 11° morning:
    Well frozen birdbath that sits on a tree stump because it was cheaper to up-cycle the stump than have it ground down.

    The turnips/mustard and chard.....well they will recover eventually I suppose

    I've been longingly looking through my Burpee and Jung catelogs although I usually get seeds from Baker Creek and save some each year. Got a mini greenhouse, coverage for a cold frame more accurately for Christmas. But even indoor planting is months away here. -31 this AM!

    Two giant tomato plants that are constantly needing new twine ties on account of dropping under their own weight they are as tall as me (6'1) and span my outstretched arms.

    If they are in indeterminants you can cut the tops back with no big loss. The determinant varieties are the ones that are more susceptible to fruit loss due to pruning.

    Finish my patio. It turned into a bigger project in reality than in my mind.

    How can you tell which is which? One is a beefstake, the other a cherry tomato.

    Beefstakes are indeterminate. If you know the variety, you can look it up. It usually says on the label. Most cherries are likewise indeterminate but there are a few going the other way. The basic difference is that indeterminate varieties will produce all season whereas determinate ones are more bush like and most of their fruit will come in all at once over a couple week period and that is all you will get from them. I always plant only indeterminate varieties. I specifically look at that when selecting plants.

    What do you fertilize those with?
