Tomato science & fall planting

 Tomato science! Did you know these things? (video)

And if you enjoyed the above video, you may find these two also of tomato growing interest: (video1) (video2)

Now is the last chance for seeding fall crops (see right side bar links to see the BC coastal planting chart for veggies, from WestCoastSeeds.) and Hakurei turnip have been planted (2 weeks apart) in Bed no. 1 under Reemay cloth (prevents roots being ruined by chewy bugs).

And this past week we uncovered the white Reemay cloth from the carrots and parsnips so you can see what they look like (the chewy bugs are hopefully finished their life cycle for those crops). Carrots can be tasted by those gardeners who are curious. These are not as sweet as last year's. They are Bolero instead of Nantes, so the sugar quantity is naturally lower.

Still rhubarb, cucumbers, green beans, zucchini to be harvested every few days to keep the plants producing continuously. Enjoy these harvests, as cold weather of fall is coming!!
