this is a stupid movie
Wow that guy was like a kid in a candy store
this show is so funny
At the hardware store, or nursery. Mine came in a small jug, and you mix it with water and put it on the leaves. It will improve all your veggies and fruit trees, but read the label to make sure you can use it on that type.
Where can I get calciums?
Make sure your tomatoes have plenty of calcium. My soil is clay heavy and the plants can’t get enough usable calcium unless i spray it on their leaves. If you dont have enough, you will get the black bottoms on your tomatoes……….icky.
I wish i knew of a nursery or catalog that sold the original species from China. I once had a species camillia that I purchased as a baby from a nursery in Bolinas, CA, but it was so tiny and didn’t survive…..or at least it was 20 years ago, and I’m a much better gardener now. Anyone know of such a company?
My totmato plant has a flower, it hasn’t fully bloom. It kinda fell off. But yes, tomato plants have flowers. So does potatos and ever orange trees.
I love both and have both. Did you know that many flowers have a benefit if you plant them in your veggies. I.E. Maragolds will repel nematodes when planted around your tomatoes.
I love the byproducts of what they found in China. I.E. Roses, Camillias, Fushias, Azalias, Lillies, etc.
Dan’s the man! It’s so much fun traveling with him; he’s like a walking encyclopedia, it’s sort of insane!
dont much like ornamentals, but one man’s ornamental is another man’s native
I Love THIS!
