Pot to Plate: Insider Tips to Luscious Tomatoes in Containers by Ken Lain, the mountain gardener Tomatoes, a summertime staple, thrive in sprawling gardens and in convenient containers on your balcony or patio! Here are 5 essential factors to ensure your potted tomato plants flourish this spring. Think Big When Choosing Containers - Unlike in-ground counterparts, containerized tomatoes have limited access to nutrients and water. To compensate, provide ample space for their roots. Opt for containers at least 1 square foot per plant, ideally 2 square feet. Five-gallon black growers buckets are perfect for this purpose. Ensuring the pots have excellent drainage, with multiple holes at the bottom, is crucial to prevent root rot. Deep Planting for Stronger Plants - While most seedlings prefer shallow planting, tomatoes are the exception. Dig deep enough to bury most of the stem when transplanting your tomato seedling, exposing only the top foliage. This encourages additional root growth along the buried stem, leading to a sturdier, healthier plant.

Today is the first day of spring. During this season, the weather warms up and we start to head outside more. There are several patents related to spring, and some are especially helpful with the warmer temperatures. This invention is perfect for a spring picnic. Eileen Trinkner was granted a patent in 1982 for her combined picnic bag and tablecloth (U.S. Patent No. 4337812). Her invention allows for efficient organization and transportation of silverware, plates, food and drink, while also serving as a table cover. Another invention perfect for a picnic is insect repellent. U.S. Patent No. 5589181A was issued in 1996 to Franz Bencsits. Spring is also the time for blooming flowers, and blooming flowers need water. Peter H. Seckel invented the kink resistant hose for spraying water (U.S. Patent No. 5682925A). The hose has connector end fittings and displaced internal ribs to prevent compression or kinking.

🍅🐛Did you know that all of those tomato hornworms you see on your tomato plants are planning to borrow into the ground and turn into THIS? 🤯 I was lucky enough to catch this tomato hornworm in the act of digging down into the ground. A few weeks later I excavated and the big green caterpillar that I saw dig down had turned into this! Here in the Napa Valley, we have two different types of moths that are considered to be “tomato hornworms.” Last year hummingbird moths seem to be everywhere. They are pretty mesmerizing when they visit your garden. 🧚🏽 The other tomato hornworm is commonly called a tobacco hornworm. That moth is generally considered to be a lot less beautiful but still usually serves a pretty important purpose in our environment. If you do find hornworms on your vegetables this summer, consider moving the worms onto one of your native plants and letting it continue its lifecycle. Moths are important pollinators so consider moving hornworms onto native plants.. or fuchsia, apple, grape, clarkia, purslane, etc.
