The Tomato Sweet 100, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum' has huge multiple-branched clusters producing 100 or more small sweet fruits. Smaller than cherry tomatoes with a mouth-watering flavor. The Sweet 100 should be staked for best results. This is an indeterminate tomato variety. Tomatoes should be planted outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. ... find out more
Coleus - Gay's Delight The Coleus Gay's Delight, 'Coleus hybrid', has lime green leaves with red to purple markings. The brilliant colors explode in sunny locations. Frost will cause them to die immediately. Coleus plants are so colorful that many people keep them and use them as a house plant. These plants will do best in temperatures above 55 degrees. Flower buds should be pinched off as soon as they develop. If a coleus plant is allowed to seed, it has completed its life cycle and will die. Coleus must have good soil drainage. Plants suffering from "wet feet" will be stunted, leaves will turn a muddy brown, and leaf margins will be scorched. For zones 10-11, this plant can also be a perennial. |
