Hoping for a bit more luck with my trinidad scorpions this year, although I grew some very wicked bhut jolokais (ghost chillis) last year.
Re: Vegetable Growing: A guide for home gardeners 144Oct 06, 2010 11:22 pm Ghost chillis. Are you crazy!!! Hey, plant the tommies and the chillis deep next time see deep planting thread. Re: Vegetable Growing: A guide for home gardeners 145Oct 09, 2010 6:22 pm Ok I'm going to be planting some tomatoes this week (possibly tomorrow) - what else is good to plant with them? I'm thinking some broccoli would be good as I enjoy that - more spring onions and I need more to fill up the vegie bed. Zucchini? Capsicum? Oregano? Basil? mmmmmm 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

Something is eating my basil seedlings though. I started with 8 and I'm down to 4 now) I saw some capsicum seedlings in my local nursery today and tons of zucchini seedlings.

Go to www.abc.net.au/gardening and check out their vegie guide for your area! Are the rabbits eating them? 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

The bunnies would eat the whole lot. Re: Vegetable Growing: A guide for home gardeners 149Oct 09, 2010 10:21 pm I have planted some tomatoes, Roma & Grape plus capci (my kids eat them like apples) Red,Orange,Yellow,Green. Did the poo thingy & a tomato ferti,also have put down a good layer of pea-straw,at the moment the snails don't like it Now as long as the chooks don't get out it will all be safe Have had to put rocks under the straw just incase Wondering what we will plant next Block bought 1st RBC X! 2nd Ventrua,Keeper!

Deep plant the tomato also if buying in pots. Have just the very growing tip showing above the soil, a massive root system develops and crops are yet again tougher and less hungry for water. thirsty plants is another aspect of the "tommie" fert products. Stick with cert organic soils, rich thick layers of straw, plant them deep, apply "seamungus" and molasses and that may very well be all that is needed. Best tomatoes you ever will see and if the previous method gave you good tomatoes, you wait and see what you get with an organic approach Other products of maintaining strong plants are using, Grow Potion, Go Go juice, Seasol blended with Power feed, Blood and Bone. I personally don't use manures anymore because of where they are now days generally sourced from. No goodness in them and who knows what growth hormones, worming treatments etc in them. However for yours, some home produced rotted chook poo would be fine. Being in Perth's alkaline soils be wary about over doing it though as your chook poo is very alkaline and so are nearly all of Perth's soils. The chook poo gives a rapid boost of nitrogen so you get a big spurt of sometimes impressive but weak growth Re: Vegetable Growing: A guide for home gardeners 151Oct 09, 2010 11:20 pm Always feed the soil, Never feed the plant Chemical fertilisers can harm soil health. Certified organic based composts and bio fertilisers will help you get the soils micro organisms to get your plants growing for you, better than many can imagine Re: Vegetable Growing: A guide for home gardeners 152Oct 10, 2010 11:10 am Cheers Fu, The poop is from a friends farm,no hormones there Not that bagged dust you can buy The fertil was blood & bone,i will go out today & take some of those leaves off though,oh & NO sprays here. My mum was listening to me complain once about white butterfly moths on my cabbages,just spray/dust them she said She thought i was crazy when i said no,told her they only stay for alittle while & they had neva gone into the cabbage only the outside leaves, They still think i'm crazy Block bought 1st RBC X! 2nd Ventrua,Keeper!

Hopefully I'll have massive crops of tomatoes this year!
