Gardening Tips
Tips I learned from Lifelong Gardener, Larry Stebbins, at our local Garden Club meeting this past month.
- When planting indoor from seeds ‘harden’ your plants each day by setting them outside in the sun for one hour.
- The largest garlic ‘Kettle River’
- Dry veggies, meaning not enough water, will result in bitter veggies.
- Lack of water to radishes makes them hotter in taste!
- Plant garlic in fall (October), mulch and water over winter.
- In fall, add compost and mulch with a hay overlay.
- Avoid putting tree products in compost.
- Try to rotate veggies each season to avoid diseases. Especially peppers, tomatoes and egg plant.
- When watering tomatoes, NEVER get water on their leaves! And tomatoes take less water than most of your other veggies.
- Broccoli and Lettuce take the most water.
- 9am is the best time to water.
- Best carrot is the early carrot- 60 days to harvest!
- Buy corn seeds that are sugar enhanced.

Gwen, what is the deal with not getting water on the tomato leaves? I’ve never heard that and it’s very interesting.
Getting water on the leaves will cause the plant to get diseases.
