Off to the garden!?

Went to a ward gardening class last night at Tammy’s house. Her family room is filled with sprouts for her vegetable garden.

Tammy Tips:

Under-plant vines in taller plants like corn and tomatoes. “You have to move them over because they don’t just go there naturally.”

The hairs along tomato plant stems are tiny roots. Pinch off all the leaves except the very top bunch, and put the plants deep in the ground. The root hairs will grow and speed your harvest and yield.

Build a wire cage about 4 feet wide by 4 feet tall. At the bottom put a couple of inches of soil, a layer of potato starts, and a layer of straw. Add more straw as the plants grow, keeping the tops open to the sun. As the plant develops there will be potatoes all along the stem and when you open the cage it will be filled with clean potatoes grown in straw. The roots will get enough from the soil at the bottom.
