Sunflower - Teddy Bear
The Teddy Bear sunflower, 'Helianthus annuus', is a dwarf sunflower plant with many 4 to 6 inch double yellow-gold flowers that look like huge mums. Teddy Bear sunflowers are annual that blooms mid-summer to fall. It will grow in almost any soil and is drought tolerant but, for larger and profuse flowering, good moisture is required. The Teddy Bear sunflower should be planted after the average last frost date. A second planting 2 weeks after the initial planting and a third planting 2 weeks later will produce attractive foliage and flowers until the first fall frost. It makes an excellent cut flower and is also good when used as a short border. Place this plant in full sun for best results. ... additional info
Tomato - Grape Juliet The Tomato Grape Juliet, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum (Hybrid)', is an All American Selection that has sweet, wonderful flavor and produces tons of red, glossy 1 oz fruits on grape-like clusters. The Juliet is an early tomato that will produce in almost any climate. In addition to the wonderfully sweet flavor, they are very crack resistant. The very shiny fruit is attractive for salads and tasty just popped in one's mouth. Juliet is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Pole Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. |
