Topic: Yo NJ! It's time for dem dare tomaters!

[Jack Morris]

Got me a peat pellet greenhouse and have planted Top Sirloin Hybrids. Since I live in an upstairs apt. I'm gonna try those upside down growers that you hang from the ceiling on the balcony, I got full E-W sun, so I'll give an update and fotos on how they work. You da man when it comes to tomato growing though, man you had a crop growing last year!

Good luck.

My patch of dirt is about to be blanketed by 4-6" of snow. Going to be a while yet for me.

Post those pics, I really want to see what the heck an upside grower looks like.

I'll let you know how that stuff works out NJ, not only on tomatoes but my roses and Gardenias. Home Depot, $10.77 a bottle, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon, and can be added to Miracle Gro (Which I always use). I'm also building a terrarium in an aquarium for my visitors from N.C./S.C. area, those wonderful different species of Venus flytraps. We'll see how well they do in Austin. Home Depot has them as well in the indoor plant section.

That is what they look like brother, but I am looking at some box styles instead of round.

Big box Mart already has some plants, I forget the type though. Do you start from seeds or small plants bought at a store? I'm starting from seeds in pellet peat moss greenhouse type of setup. The small kind with a cover that you can put outside in the day and bring inside during the night when it is cooler.

If some of your visitors are comming from the coastal areas Jack, there are 30 species of carnivorous plants native to NC, including several varieties of Pitcher Plants, Sundews, Butterworts, and Bladderworts. Most are protected species though.

One is a Drosera, the other is Dionaea. We'll see how they do, being near huge water source Austin has moisture in the air, but nothing like the southern states.
