one of gardeners shares about her first tomato of 2014!

My First Tomato in 2014

Picked on June 29, this is the earliest maturing tomato I have ever grown!  I planted the seed on March 29 and repotted the tiny seedling to a 2 inch pot for a few weeks.  Later, I put it in a big pot and introduced it to my greenhouse with lots of other tomatoes on June 1. 

It is called Stupice and was bred in the Czech Republic in the 1970’s. It is certified organic, OP or open pollinated. Days to maturity are said to be 60 to 65, right on the mark. This is an indeterminate, vine plant so I staked and pruned it. It will grow tall and bear fruit all summer. It is a potato leaf plant with small to medium fruit, sweet and flavorful. What a treat! This is one of the varieties that we had for sale at TOMATO MANIA. It is great for our short and sometimes cool summers in Calgary. I highly recommend it for your home garden or greenhouse.

New Garden communication sign!

Look at our new installed white board on the outside of the shed.  Please use markers that are located inside the shed to add special messages for the garden members.  Maybe you are going to be away for a summer holiday, write your plot number and dates that you are away to ask others to water.  If you do water the plot, write the date beside the request.  Read the sign to see if you can help others in the garden.  Check for the most up to date message of activities being held in the garden and participate.
