Companion Planting for Tomatoes
Monday, February 8th, 2010
I’ve always found the idea of companion planting fascinating. I wouldn’t swear it always works, but I suspect there’s a lot more substance to it than its detractors will admit. Gardeners have been fine tuning it for years and there’s no substitute for experience. Today I’m combining two of my gardening loves: growing tomatoes and companion planting. I culled through a few dozen articles and books and my own experience and pulled together my list of companion plants for tomatoes. Since you’re going to grow some of these plants anyway, why not experiment with growing them together? There’s still plenty of time to start some seeds.

Phenology
Sunday, January 31st, 2010How do you know when to plant? Well, there are no guarantees, but if you let nature tell you when it’s safe to plant seeds or put your plants out, you’re probably on the right track. Nature sends certain signals that will let gardeners know how the weather and climate are progressing. There’s a science devoted to this, called phenology. It is useful to gardeners, as a guide for when to plant. For instance, plant your peas when the forsythia blooms. Here are a few more phenology tips.
