I have a mix of both Heirloom and Hybrid tomatoes in my garden; probably about 5 times more Heirlooms than Hybrids.TZ -OH6 wrote:I too am surprised that some of you have never experienced it. I thought it was pretty standard with tomatoes. Maybe some of the common hybrids are cleaner than others ...
Does anyone else get a short-lived rash from picking okra? I am not only green, but bumpy. It's a wonder anyone will associate with me.
Converted my garden from turf (mostly clover). Tilled it under, then planted (april 27) When I planted I gave a scoop (like 2 cups) of mushroom compost mixed with well rotten chicky-poo in the planting holeThat's why I was curious to get an idea of others' fertilizing practices. I've read (somewhere in the past) that tomato plants will "weep" excess nitrogen when they are fertilized "heavily". Maybe that's not the answer, I don't know.
Once last year, I forgot what I was doing and picked some Okra, without gloves on my hands... after a few minutes, my hands felt like there were 1,000 stinging needles attacking them.Marlingardener wrote:Does anyone else get a short-lived rash from picking okra?
That picture is of a "Goldman's Italian American" tomato, available commercially through Baker Creek heirloom seeds. It is a red over-sized plum tomato, good for cooking with, etc.garden5 wrote:Yeah, I get that, too, especially when I'm pruning my suckers.
