August 2007, 23:40:44 Subiectul: Re: Tomatoes How To Bernice: Really? some folks dont know what raisins are and they are in the US? wow, that surprises me big time. I grew up watching tv ads from the US for the California Raisins ( heard it thru the grapevine song) - In Canada we get nearly every US TV channel so we see all the US ads. 9. August 2007, 22:18:10  Has anybody heard of Mellow Yellow tomatoes....I bought one plant about 3-4 months ago... it has gotten so large at the moment I have it staked with 6 stakes to hold it up....it is laden with tomatoes (none ripe yet) but it isnt the tomatoes that is forcing me to stake it....the bush is absolutely huge. 9. August 2007, 22:15:54 Subiectul: Re: Tomatoes How To skipinnz: thanks for that also LOLOL.....it might be a good thing to explain what raisins are...I sent recipes to people in USA and they always ask what raisins are...Im not saying everybody but it does seem strange that they ask. 9.

August 2007, 05:57:51 Subiectul: Re: Tomatoes How To skipinnz: Too many for the window sill.. and the plants are in the garden.. I would have to pull them out.. maybe just the heat was too much to where they need the cool air.. not sure.. But, I still would like that recipe.. 9. August 2007, 05:50:20 Subiectul: Re: Tomatoes How To ScarletRose: you can ripen them on a window ledge as individual tomatoes, also you can hang the whole bush/plant ina shed and they will ripen. If all else fails I've got a reciepe for green tomatoe pickle 9. August 2007, 05:47:49 Subiectul: Tomatoes How To I have a question on cherry toms, romas, yellow pear.. most variety's of Toms..

Iulie 2007, 00:52:11 Subiectul: Japanese Beetles Does anyone know a good way to fight them? 1. Iulie 2007, 09:57:23 I always start my tomatoes in sandy soil or sandy loam as we call it....it enables a great strong root system :) then transplant into hevier soil and not too much compost at the start as they can be inclined to burn if it is put too close to stalks/stem 1. Iulie 2007, 08:30:46 Subiectul: Re: Mousetrap: You had better luck last year. 1. Iulie 2007, 04:04:07 Foxy Lady: So far no luck  29.

Iunie 2007, 06:13:55 Subiectul: Re: Laburnum tree skipinnz: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly....and be careful around children skipinnz....extremely poisonous :( 21. Iunie 2007, 04:07:58 Subiectul: Laburnum tree I want to know if I should prund my Laburnum tree, when we put it in it was a small bundle of leaves at the top of a long slender trunk. Then in the summer it went wild and sent out two branches which are over one meter long. Now it is shedding its leaves I'm wondering if I should cut it back. Any thought anybody? 20. Iunie 2007, 23:09:16 BBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR............ it is so darn cold here....still raining and it looksa as tho June is going to be our wettest month on record.... Gosh only a couple months ago we were in the middle of our longest drought and now there are floods right down the east coast of australia...(except for Brisbane) I think. shocking weather, but at least my garden is just loving it, especially the tomatoes...Zucchini arent doing at all well, hoping they will chirp up or out they go LOL. 13.

Mai 2007, 00:02:28 Subiectul: Re: Roses help Eriisa: keep the water away from the leaves.....sounds like black spot to me...pick all the diseased leaves off and burn them or take them away from your garden.....DO NOT leave them lying around. 26. Mai 2007, 15:49:06 Subiectul: Roses help ok, I think I remember reading about this a couple of years ago and I'm just too dang lazy to try and look back. My roses have the leaves getting big black splotches and turning yellow and then all falling off. At one point, one bush has NO leaves left, although they do seem to be growing back. Any easy solutions or home remedies for them? 26. Mai 2007, 15:47:00 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: ooo that sounds good! 26. Mai 2007, 07:52:31 Subiectul: Re: Foxy Lady: when I loaded up my new freezer yesterday I didnt realize that I also had 10 trays of mangos, which I had sliced the cheeks off and frozen them... A nice way of eating them is as follows. take a square of puff pastry and lay a mango cheek on it and place on a tray and bake at 200degC until pastry is all puffy....about 15-20 minutes...serve with fresh whipped cream or ice cream or even both ROFLMBO...... 26. Mai 2007, 05:42:29 Subiectul: Re: Bernice: My sister lives in Florida and has the glory of picking fresh fruit like babanas,oranges lemons and limes.She also has pecan trees that she sends me for baking.Not the trees just the pecans.Mangos are another fav.of mine from there. 25.
