Interesting! I was just saying the other day that this year has been extremely light for crickets. Most summers I see them all over the place. This year there have been very few inside and outside. I wonder if different areas of the valley have diff…

Seeds of Trust is offering $5,95 off shipping until Sept. 24th with coupon code, freeship. Found the code when I signed up for their Seeds Trust News. Seems like a good time to order some Siberian tomatoes.

Took this photo at the end of July, in the chicken coop! Don't know if they made it out alive, but it looks like they were trying their best to enjoy the moment.

Thanks much!

Thank you!

Kristi, Yes, I did. I wish I would have started them earlier though. They are still pretty small.

WOW!!! I just looked at seedstrust. Amazing site! Have you grown any of their Siberian tomatoes? I'm not sure which variety to get. Also is it too late to start them by seed in paper pots? Thanks much!

HI Bethany, Did you grow your transplants from seeds?
August 24
Great tips Chris. Do you start your own plants from seeds? Is there anyone here locally selling their transplants of any of these varieties?

We had great luck in our little demonstration garden with tomatoes planted mid Sept. last year. The ones that did the best were the cherry types and romas, were picking them by mid Nov. and all the way into spring, just be prepared to cover when fro…

I have a bunch of San Marzano starts, and will be putting those in the ground in the next few days. I hope soooo much they do well. I just LOVE San Marzanos for marinara sauce, and plan on canning as many tomatoes as these plants will give me. This…

Thanks. I will check out this site. I never see Siberian at the Nursery's. Just your typical short season early girl, celebrity, etc......

Nice! Do you have your seedlings sitting outside? Do you have to babysit them with water every few hours?
August 23
Started my first wave of fall seeds at the beginning of the month (bit late but...). Tomato, cucumber, beet, carrot, chard, choi - oh boy! Will now do a batch every two weeks.
August 23
I would love to hear from you guys who have success with fall tomatoes. I just don't get it. Weather has to be cooled down enough for them to set fruit but when it gets cool enough it's too cold at night and the tomatoes are small with not much goin…

I've got some small, black little bugs on my butternut squash. I'm a Phx native and have never seen bugs like these, but I've also never grown the squash before, either. They seem to hide when I reach for a leaf - creepy! What are they and will they…
