Re: Sticker Shock!

Lolotsung, if your Dad likes the Campari or Certo tomatoes (from Metro), they apparently grow true, but are assumed to be hybrids. I grew Certo one year and they were great compact plants with perfect clusters. However, much as I enjoy these varieties in the winter, there are better varieties out th...

Re: Sticker Shock!

Most plants come true from saved seed - except when they are hybrids! Your dad may have liked a grape tomato from the grocery store, and saved some seeds. However, he might have been very disappointed to find that he had grown a great big beefsteak with tough skin (which took after one of the parent...

Re: Sticker Shock!

Speaking of pricey seedlings. Our Horticultural Society had their plant sale yesterday and I took some of my "extra" tomato seedlings along. Because they were "heirloom", they charged $6 a pot!!!! I thought that was a bit steep, but they all sold. (Some hybrids cost $1 a seed these days, so it's wor...

Nothing works on vent gleet!

I guess nobody wanted to admit that a long-standing case of vent gleet must be incurable.

Vent Gleet

Has anyone had any luck using Fluconazole orally for Vent Gleet? I found a great post by Jaye, and copied it down, thinking that I'd look up dosing after I bought the med, assuming that I could!

Re: Aerogarden

Do let me know how the Rosemary turns out! Too funny about the thumbs down for growing flowers :). I have flower gardens too, but I really love my veggies, and cannot imagine using an AG for them, but people seem to love growing petunias in them!?!?!? Glad the methi pancakes turned out well. It's so...
