Garden Season Almost Here

Hernekadar hava durumunda bir haftadir kar beklendigi soylenip dursada dun ve bugun hava gunluk guneslikti. Hatta bahcede yeni bir raised bed kurup tere ekecek kadar da iyiydi.
Bugun ayrica Cherokee Tomato, Globe Basil, Regular Basil ve Celery tohumlari ektim.

Tomato Pole Cherokee Purple Organic Heirloom Seed(Botanical Interests)

 Tomato Pole Cherokee Purple Organic Heirloom Seed
When to start inside: 6-9 weeks before the average last spring frost.

Special Sowing & Germination Instructions: when transplanting seedlings outside, bury the roots and stem up to the first set of leaves horizontally. Curve the stem above the ground to a vertical position. The stem will sprout roots and develop a strong root system.

Harvesting: Harvest tomatoes when firm and fully colored. Lots of green tomatoes near the end of the season? Cut roots with a shovel on two sides: stress will hasten the maturity of existing tomatoes. Also, 1 month before frost, clip all blossoms off plant. If light frost is predicted, hang plants upside down in a dark basement or place green tomatoes between sheets of newspaper and check daily.

Basil Greek Spicy Globe Greek Seed(Botanical Interests)
Basil Greek Spicy Globe Greek Seed 6-8 weeks before transplanting outside.

Special Germination Instructions: Easy to grow from seed. Must have warm soil temperatures. Wait to plant until nighttime temperatures are above 50 degrees.

Sucessive Plantings Recommended. Every 3 or 4 weeks after initial planting.

Harvesting Basil leaves should be harvested before the plant flowers. The young, top leaves taste the best and should be used fresh. The older leaves may be used for vinegar and pesto. To harvest most of the plant, cut the main stem, leaving at least 3 pairs of leaves near the ground--plant will regrow and produce additional leaves. (You can prolong the harvest period by pinching off flower buds to maintain flavor.) If there is any chance of temperatures dropping to 32 degrees, harvest crop immediately. The best time to harvest any herb is in the morning, after the dew dries, but before it gets too warm. Alternatively, you could harvest in the early evening.

CELERY, TALL UTAH (Ferry-Morse)

Start indoors 10 weeks before outdoor planting date. Broadcast evenly over well-watered soil and cover lightly. When 2 inches tall, thin to 2 inches apart. Transplant outdoors when the plants are 4 inches tall. Place in well-cultivated soil and keep watered.
Days to Germination: 14 - 20 Days
Days to Harvest: 125 - 125 Days
Planting Depth: 0.125 - 0.125 Inches
Plant Spacing: 8 - 8 Inches
Spacing Rows: 36 - 36 Inches

Elephant Ear

Generally Colocasia are grown outside in semi-tropical and tropical areas (In zones 8 and 9 they survive year round in the ground). They can be grown in northern areas but must be dug up for the winter months. In southern states they grow best in partial shade, but in northern states the can tolerate full sun and thrive in humid weather. Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moist or wet, slightly acidic soil. They need plenty of water. We find it difficult to over-water these plants as they can learn to grow directly in ponds in your yard. If you choose to grow them in pots, then self watering pots with a reservoir will reduce your watering chores. The pots should allow room for tubers to produce next year’s corms. Also, if you are putting in pots outside then they should be heavy enough to reduce any incidence of blowing over in high winds.

Colocasias are heavy feeders. Grown best in fertile, humus-rich, moist or wet, slightly acidic soil. Regular fertilizing every month is good during the growing season. A balanced, 20-20-20 fertilizer is fine. If your elephant ears do not produce quick lush growth, they need either more heat, more water or more nitrogen
•Elephant Ears need moderate water. Water the plant one every two to three days.
•Adult Elephant Ear plants will grow the fastest if you re-plant the Elephant Ear about six months after initially planting it..
•Relocating Elephant Ears can put the plant in a state of shock. This can be easily identified as the leaves appear to by dying. Do not be discouraged, the plant will re-grow after a few weeks..
•Be sure to remove ALL of the plant roots when removing or relocating the Elephant Ear plant.
•I can't imagine why you would do this, but do not eat the leaves of the plant. Elephant Ear plants are poisonous..

BASIL, GENOVESE (Ferry-Morse)

Annual Herb. This large leaf type originated in Italy where it was selected for its flavor in making pesto. These productive plants belong in every herb garden. Easy to grow.

Start seed indoors near a sunny window 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden. Or, sow in garden in full sun when frost danger is over and ground is warm. Performs best in rows 2 feet apart. Thin plants to 10 inches apart when they are 2 inches tall.

Height: 22 to 22 Inches
Days to Germination: 5 - 10 Days
Planting Depth: 0.25 - 0.25 Inches
Plant Spacing: 10 - 10 Inches
Preserve By: Drying
