Master Gardener: How to get a jump start on your tomato garden
So I ordered tomato seeds that have a “V” and “N” on their label. This tells me that they are bred to be resistant to Verticillium wilt and rootknot nematode. You would know if you have a nematode problem. Nematodes live in the soil, especially sandy soil, and they attach to roots for some free food. So when you pull up the plants in the fall, the roots are all deformed and knobby with nematodes. As I put more and more organic matter into the garden each year, it seems that the stunting and loss of productivity is less severe.If you grow cucumbers, you can buy seeds that are resistant to powdery mildew and downy mildew.
My tomato seed order just arrived. I’ll stagger their seeds’ planting so the harvest is spread out. I plant the earliest ones first for the earliest crop that I can get.
In my yard I have one more grapevine to prune and a crape myrtle to finish pruning. I noticed that all my hellebores (Lenten roses) were in good bloom by mid-January
