Ah, I see. Oh that's okay, I'll most likely get mine from the supermarket and try to grow from there as I've had success before from potatoes in generalI order mine on line, from GA, I think. I order a lot of my seeds from online sources as well. I will try to look it up
Oh good to know, we actually have chives already that keep coming back every year : ) also, never knew Rhubarb would do that- I'll look into that more as it'd be great for rhubarb pie!I forgot, the plants that keep on giving without much work, Horseradish, Chives, and Rhubarb. Once you get these established, all you do is pick/dig it when you want.
ooh, I LOVE fruit trees! Lol..5 hazelnuts :o they sure are fast. Peonies are beautiful- I once went to this peony garden that was open to the public. They were so big and pretty. Gladiolus are pretty as well : )We have a garden that has a lot of plumtrees, appletrees a few peartrees and quite some rosebushes that spread an aroma in summer. Last year I did get peonies flowering too. I have also sown peonies from seed for five years ago and hope they soon some summer start to bloom. Every spring we have peppermint, applemint and asparagus and every autumn the squirrels leave about five hazelnuts left for us although we have three trees. Tulips leafs are peeking up now and some things in the nature is budding. The spruce and pine in the forest is the only green thing still so it looks rather dull still. We have rhubarb, blackberry (russian) and yellow raspberry, blackcurrant, and in the forest there is blueberry, seabuckthorn, raspberry, cranberry etc. This year I have white and purple gladiolus that is already a metre high waiting to get out and pink huge papaver somniferum.
Beautiful! It's definitely coming along nicely : ) Yeah cherry tomatoes is something I've been thinking of as well just because they have quite a high yield overall. Smart thinking with the fork. I've never thought to use one as trellis, but will consider in the future!Right now I'm growing kidney beans, chives, and lentils. I might also grow strawberries or cherry tomatoes and some kind of herb (like maybe mint or basil).
Here's a picture of the kidney bean plant, which is almost 2 feet tall now:View attachment 196064
There is also a lentil plant, but you can barely see it in that picture. I had to use a plastic fork as a "trellis" at first...the cup I started the plants in wasn't really big enough for anything else.
Now they're growing in a much larger container that I filled with sand at the bottom and on top I put coffee grounds, paper, egg shells, and spanish moss.
Whoa, that's awesome! Is that the average it yields or the highest you've experienced so far?I remember one summer when I bought a bushy cherry tomato plant and I put it in a big pot. We got over 200 cherrytomatoes that summer from the plant.
Agreed, grape tomatoes are great! & Thanks for the link! It's very helpful.We love the cherry tomatoes, my wife's favorite is the grape tomato. The flavor is great in salads or just eaten by themselves!
Heres a good read about tomatoes
The Average Yield of a Tomato Plant
Pay attention to the determinate and indeterminate varieties when choosing tomato plants.

I planted that variety once and had it in good soil in a huge pot on a warm balcony and watered it and gave it loads of tomatonutrients both in soil and some on the leaf ( sprayed when there was no sunny day) and I believe I had chickendung in the soil too. I bought the plant from a florist. Usually cherrytomatoes go well outside here but better in a greenhouse. Common tomatoes are best grown in greenhouses where I live. Perlite is also great to mix into the soil, about 10-15%.Whoa, that's awesome! Is that the average it yields or the highest you've experienced so far?
