Here are some Heatwave II.

Also, if your school has an Ag Dept. Check with them. Typically they have a lot of good vegetable plants for sale that the kids start from seed. Here I think it’s $2.00 for a flat of 6.

There's a new Heat tolerant varitey called "4th of July" out this year per the lady at Marshall Grain. She said these and the Heatwaves should be in around 2 weeks from now.

I keep a couple hives at a guys house that is a certified organic farmer/gardener. His garden is probably 2-3 acres. I was out there after work today and asked him about tomatos. He said he only plants Celebrity. Said that what he's had the best luck with. And he plants 400+ every year.

Celebrity are good for a one time and done crop . They are determinate or some say they are semi-determinate. I like to plant interdeterminate varieties which will grow and produce all the way till frost. We are not really into canning.

Off the tomatoes subject but.
Do yall have a schedule you go by on applying pre-emergent and fertilizer to your lawns. Gotta get the yard bake in shape. I already see a bunch of weeds coming in.

If the weeds are already there, then it's too late for thse pre-emergents. That should have been put in 2 months ago. You'll have to treat the weeds now with some other form of weed killer. But, as weeds go, not all sprout now, you can use pre-emergents for the others.

If it's grass/ sand burrs , go ahead and apply the pre-emergent. My grand daddy always grew bluebonnets in the yard so he wouldn't mow until they went to seed. Needless to say my yard was a sand burr jungle . Took me three years applying pre-emergents and walking around the front yard with a spray bottle of Round-Up but I finally got 'em all .

Btw, Lowe's has Celebrities now. thumb

How long to turnip seeds remain viable ? I bought a quarter pound in 2011 . They did great that year . Last year was a bust but I blame that on location .
This year they haven't sprouted after around three weeks. I've kept them in a dry cool place . Bought some more today just in case . ( Non-GMO , btw . )

If you have any of the old seeds left, pour some out onto a paper towel and fold it in half. Lightly wet the paper towel and place it inside of a ziplock bad. Dont seal it. Place the bag on top of your refrigerator. You should know in a week or so if the seeds are still good if the seeds are sprouting.

Strung 3 strands of electric fence around my 150' x 50' plot today and hooked it up to a 10 mile charger . I think the coons and neighbor's dogs will leave my garden alone this year. wink

I plant the buckets 6' apart. So my tomatoes take up a space that is 3' wide x 42' long. And most years my plants are close to 6' to 8' tall come frost.

Has the freeze not gotten your lettuce and cabbage?

When is everyone planning on putting out your maters? Was debating getting seeds and starting my own plants, just didnt know if I had time.
