Anyone who has seen the eye-catching appeal of Blue Ribbon’s catalog, booklet, and seed packets, will appreciate our next blue ribbon (with rosette) winner. Jody in KS takes the honor for her custom designs. Her prices are fair, and service unbeatable. If you’re in the market for business cards, check her out. http://www.businesscardsbyjody.com/
Jody also gets another ribbon for her garden. Her taste for tomatoes was stirred up from working with all those mouth-watering tomato mug shots. She says: " I had real good results with my 'container tomaters' and plan on sticking with them again next year. I like the way the water gets to down into the containers and doesn't just end up running off. I do know I need to space them further apart next year. Matt's Wild Cherry, Calf's Heart, and Amish Oxheart were so intertwined, I just let them do their thing all over the place instead of tying them up. Still did pretty good tho.
I had 7 containers, two plants in each. Can you find: Fireball, Green Zebra, Amish Oxheart, Banana Legs, Black Pear, Matt's Wild Cherry and Calf's Heart? (Squirrels broke off one of my Calf's Heart, so you'll see a few green ones in the pic, too, but they ripened up just fine). I think the yield was fantastic.
Basically, I used potting soil, a post in the center (broom handles), and a couple of inches of mulch on top. Side dressed with doses of seaweed tea and cow manure, and of course, water. Have decided next year, instead of the post in the middle, am going to use cages."
