Tomato - Ace
The Tomato Ace, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old favorite with excellent tomato flavor and it is great for canning. The 5 to 6 inch in diameter Ace tomato weighs about 7 to 8 ounces which is a decent sized tomato. Yields are exceptional for such a large tomato. Ace is a low acid tomato for those who prefer such. Ace is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. They may also be seeded 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. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. ... more information
Sunflower - Ornamental Mix The Sunflower Ornamental Blend, 'Helianthus annuus', is simply the prettiest combination of sunflowers we have ever seen. The Ornamental Blend includes Velvet Queen, Autumn Beauty, Lemon Queen, and Indian Blanket. The colors range from a soft, pretty lemon yellow to a dark velvety burgundy and from a orange/bronze bicolor to an almost endless other sunflower shades. Sunflowers make excellent cut flowers, are drought tolerant, and they bloom all summerPlant in the spring after the last average frost date. Sunflowers prefer full sun and they will grow in almost any soil. Although they are drought tolerant, they take considerable moisture. For best results water frequently. These sunflowers may need to be staked if they get too tall. |
