ID heirloom tomato varieties?

sarea_okelani in gardening Oct 14, 2011 21:50

Can anyone please help me identify these three heirloom tomatoes? I'd like to save the seeds for next season, and would like to label them with their varieties, if possible. I've looked online, but honestly I'm no expert and they could fit the bill for so many different ones! Maybe it's impossible to really tell just from looking at them, but ( ... )

seed saving question

Hello all! I have a couple seed saving questions I was hoping I could get some help with. I've never tried saving seed before (except for not planting a seed packet and planting it the following year!) but figured I would give it a shot this year ( ... )

Sunflower seed question

maggies_lens in gardening Jul 24, 2011 18:55

Hi everyone, just a quick question. A friend has given me a large bag of sunflower bird-seeds. The bag has ripped open and I need to get rid of the seeds pretty quickly as I don't want to feed the local mice population - the birds kenna take any more, Captain! :) I know I can pop the seeds in a container but I was wondering, if I plant them out ( ... )

Red Onions....

My google-fu is failing me today....

Last year I tried to grow red onions in my garden - I got a bunch of little starter mini onions, planted them, and they mostly started to grow, until they all died off. I assumed that my soil was not right for them, and decided to try different things this year.
But they came back!
But now they're starting to ( ... )

Aloe seeds

So, I have about six little aloe variegata seeds. I think they're variegata seeds, but I do know that they are an aloe-type. Papery coverings and little dark seeds in the middle ( ... )

Last fall, I picked up a bunch of small clay pots from the FREE box outside one of my favorite thrift stores, thinking I could use them when spring came. And, since spring is coming, I'm starting to think about what they could hold.

Seed starting and basic watermelon growing

labradors in gardening Mar 24, 2011 21:37

This year for my seedlings I'm using some Schulz seed starting mix and those 3" fiber pots (not doing that many seeds this year.) The mix was cheap and isn't wetting down well, anyone have tips for this step? I'm assuming it will just seep back into the fiber pots and then into the dirt. I've only used the Jiffy peat pots before which just love ( ... )
