Tooo funnyy Noush, you are better of getting the pre-planted ones. It is cheaper, all they need is water and lots of sun.

EDIT: Everything that Paul said, do not forget to talk to the Plants and music helps too Try reading them the posts from the forum and show them the pics!

LAST EDIT: What Richie said!

Do a PH test of soil and check your acid levels.
Start seeds in small seed pots before planting.
Use Miracle Grow.
Water in the morning and don't get water on the leaves (the sun will scorch them).
Try connecting a length of hose (with holes punched in it) to the down-spout and bury it about 5 inches down at the base of the plants.
Hope this helps a little.

If anyone has any gardening tips for me, I'd appreciate it. I like tomatoes, so last year, I researched online for award winning, best tasting, organic, heirloom seeds. Planted the entire package of 100+ seeds and only 3 sprouted, and one pathethic fellow made it long enough to produce 1 freaking pathetic tomato. I fed this thing spring water and babied it till a g'dmn bird ate the only tomato it produced. I'm trying again this year--maybe I ought to just get the cheap stuff from target.

4 words.....High Potash Tomato feed

Drink lots of coffee. When its time to water the tomatoes you'll know..... Ohh the relief. It worked wonders in Pauls garden when I did the watering.

Wow, thanks guys. I'll try the PH test (not Parrot Head test--already tested him) & sun, but I didn't want to use any fertilizers to keep it as organic as possible. Wife has a huge green thumb and likes to hug trees. Yeah...I know...

Paul, hose connected to the downspout = ingenious. Love that idea.

Ok catching up 40 some odd posts...


I think Donny and Marie will probably be on til we see them in a game together. 26&6 aint a bad showin' for anyone, especially Donny, btw. I hear Bert and Ernie have an appearance scheduled, along with several other dynamic duos

Harkness, don't change the name dude... I like it

Brian123456789, change the name dude... I don't like it. Thanks for the bio. (Keep the name, really)

PH test? Paul quit dragging me into stuff. The only test I do on maters involves tasting and Duke's mayo.

Mrs Dent is still hot, especially with her tools in hand.

Short term memory aint what it used to be... I'll have to post what I have here
and read the other posts again.

Oh yeah... Name changes. Definitely switch back to DIESEL.

Ok so who has done the new apple update? Is it good? Or will it destroy my ability to play? Updates on this thing are hit and miss so I was wanting some feed back. This update was good so I hate to ruin it.

I WAS ABDUCTED BY A UFO

Sorry I have'nt been around much lately. Last weekend I was ELK hunting in the woods of Tennessee. Taking aim and firing at a ELK something strange happened, my bullets seemed to move in slow motion. As i went to retrieve the bullet a sudden strange feeling came over me. Turning around I saw a humanoid over six feet tall which had a black jumpsuit, a wide belt decorated with a six pointed star and emblem of yellow. It had straight hair standing out from his head, no eyebrows, bow legs, and long arms ending with rod like appendages instead of hands.

The being asked me if I was hungry and gave me 4 pills, telling me that if I ate one I would not be hungry for 4 days. The humanoid then pointed at me and in an instant i found myself enclosed in a transparent device and wearing a helmet.

Two more humanoids appeared carrying the elk i had hunted which was now stiff and in an unnaturally frozen state. They told me they were going to their home planet some 163,000 light years away and subsequently we arrived there in a flash. On the planet were many buildings that resembled the Seattle space needle and the planets sun was of intense heat.

My next memory was being back in the mountains of Tennessee. I was in a deranged state until i was found and taken to a hospital. I WAS JUST RELEASED SO HERE I AM. DID YOU ALL MISS ME.

ps i think one of them tried to impregnate me. CAN I GET PREGNANT BEING A GUY. I need my MEDS.

Max, just tried it today on my iPad I. After adjusting sensitivity and killing ALL effects, its more playable than it has been in weeks. Controls are good, bombing the same. Having to readjust my aiming, but I never could hit anything anyway...lands like its on marshmallows, and I still get shot a lot, but still a major improvement...

I forgot how much u old geezers type. By the way I hate the typing thing, I can't text n fly.

Thanks. Marie Osmond wanted me to tell you she had a good game with you earlier.

I owe MARTY a Martini!
He helped me put my pants back on!
Thanks!

Not to be rude but I think you should change back your in-game name to Diesel.

K-man feels friendly,
while only seeing the name Diesel in red scared my airplane,
to the point that the wings shiver so much that I thought they would fall off

Ha you're pretty darn funny , DIESEL seems to fit better cause I have black smoke poring out of my plane most of the time...

Lots of Lime in the soil usually helps. Go to a feed store and get a bag of it and just spread it on the ground. A good idea for soil prep is composted cow manure in the fall, let it sit all winter, and then lots of lime to balance it in the spring when you turn the ground. They make tomato specific fertilizers also, but use sparingly b/c they will burn them. As far as spring water goes, save your money and just use the hose. Make sure to water plenty; and keep it low to the ground. You don't want to water the leaves much. Soaker hoses run near the base of the plants are a good way to do it. Make sure that they are planted where they will get plenty of sunlight. Tomatoes can be finicky and suseptable to disease and insect problems. Sevin dust is a good insecticide if and only if necessary. If you see any signs of mites, beetles, black spots etc cut it off and take it to your local nursery (a real one, not lowes or Home Depot) immediately. You can lose an entire crop very quickly.

As far as starting from seed, use a high quality potting mix and plant seeds into small cups that will drain. Water very gently with a watering can that has a sprinkle type head. Use some miracle grow in the can, but don't go crazy. Don't use any other fertilize at this point. Make sure the soil stays moist and gets plenty of sunlight. When transferring from starter cups to plant into the ground, break up the root ball VERY gently with your fingers so that the plant is not root bound. As the plant starts to grow pretty tall, prune the lowest of the offshoots from the main vine. If any offshoots look weak or are growing towards the ground, just clip them. No need in them sucking up water and nutrients that can go to more productive vines. As the plants get big, I prefer using wire baskets rather than stakes. Either is ok though. A good material to tie the vines to the basket or stake is old pantyhose. Cut it into pieces and use them to tie vines to the stake or basket. Pantyhose are resilient to water and lots of sun, yet stretchy so that they don't cut into the vines. Finally, go buy a bottle of bloom spray. You can rely on bees to pollinate the blooms, but bloom spray is a much safer bet. Go through your plants as the little flowers bloom, and give them a spray or two. It helps a lot.

I've grown a LOT of tomatoes in my life. These things always work well for me. Good luck and let me know how it comes out. I do strongly reccomed finding a good plant nursery in your area. They will be familiar with your local soil and pests/diseases. Again, at the first sign of a problem, cut off a sample and take it to them for advice.

Edit: your tomato plant in the picture looks extremely dry. Just use the hose and maybe some limited amounts of fertilizer.

Black cow brand composted cow manure from Oxford, FL is my favorite, and it should be available at Lowes or HD. Just make sure that you use lime to balance it. Very important. Without the lime, you'll have huge lush green plants, and the tomatoes will rot off of them.

As far as birds, use shiny things like a disposable pie pan. Better yet, get a BB gun and a cat.

Holy mother of Tomatoes! You've got this thing to a science Jack. I'm printing your post and putting it in the safe. So much I just learned, cant wait to try it. Thank you sir, and a bump to go along.

My tomato plants, when I have time to do a garden ( not this year) are usually 6' tall and very productive. I'm just passing on generations of family knowledge that I learned by doing throughout my entire childhood.
