I was able to change the order to a Bartlett pear. Customer service was very good.

Bartlett pears are delicious! I hope it does well for you.

Update: The invincible Roma tomatoes from Hoss Tools were kind of weak and had to be shaded. Furthermore, it doesn't grow well in a Kratky system. The roots look brown in comparison to the white Coral cherry tomato roots in the same line of nutrients and solution level. I think it's susceptible to root rot unlike the new 2025 determinate Roma variety called Shelby which has root rot and TYLCV resistance listed.

I just set my Shelby tomato and pepper seedlings in potting mix and placed them outside in the morning sun. I hope Shelby will do better in my yard. I am looking for a reliable paste tomato I can grow in my environment.

I just found an all natural way to kill crabgrass. I don't know how much of the ingredients to add but it's worth a try. Here's the ingredients list: wheat flour, cinnamon, cumin, sodium bicarbonate and corn meal. Sounds easy enough and it doesn't say it contains any toxins.

I don't know about all those extra ingredients, but baking soda has been used to kill crabgraśs for a long time. Just mix A couple teaspoons in a gallon of water and treat. Watch out for the regular grass around it.

I am doing a little experiment with things I don't see aphids' on like green onions, basil, Chinese parsley, American parsley, oregano and lavender. I put a mound of this mix around my eggplant like mulch. Ahid's always infest my eggplants.

I didn't buy my thyme plants yet, maybe today since its sunny. I also pegged one of those store-bought outdoor ant baits.

Yesterday planted peas and carrots. Today planted beets, Yukon Gold and Red Pontiac potatoes. Garlic has been in since last October.

Speaking of garlic, several of mine have sprouted!

Raining on and off here, so I'm prepping my beds for the Autumn greens. Any and all plant suggestions are welcome - I'm keen to try new things!

Aside from lettuce cilantro spinach and Swiss Chard, I don't know what else to plant. Unless you want to plant broccoli and Brussels sprouts cabbage

Kale, beets for the greens, collards, romaine. These, and the one listed above will give you some tasty salads and cooking greens.
