Tomato Success Part II - Learn from Home!


Below is Part II of my PowerPoint learn from home gardening series. This presentation covers summer growing care, tips and trouble shooting. 

Enjoy, and feel free to share with others.

Just a FYI ... if you subscribe to this blog (thank you for doing so), often the pdf will not be operational within the email, so just click on the title of the blog in the email and it will take you to the actual blog page. The pdf should open up by clicking on the boxed arrow icon in the upper right corner on the first slide.

Tomato Growing Success Part I, click here.

Part III will be posted in August and will cover harvest tips and extending the growing season.

Thank you!

December in June?

For some reason after I temporarily took down a recent blog, Google Blogger decided to send registered email followers a December '19 blog about seed starting. I have no idea what happened, and to the best of my knowledge, the news feed (system used that sends you each new blog) is still working just fine.

Wouldn't a little December weather feel pretty good after record heat yesterday (June 5) of 96 degrees.

The painted lady butterflies don't seem to mind the warmth at all. Here's one on blooming chives.

June 2020 Temperature and Precipitation Outlook

Full disclosure here - I've been spending so much time outside in the garden lately that I've been neglecting my writing time. You won't hold it against me because you're probably out there too! 

Here's the June temperature and precipitation outlook for June 2020 from NOAA. I'm crossing my fingers for no damaging hail, but a little moisture is always welcome.
