For tomatoes and okra
In the fall of the year, I
get the weeds and grass out of my garden. I take my push plow and
plow two rows, one for tomatoes and one for okra. I put lime and
compost in the rows. In the winter I put all the potato peelings
and eggshells in rows. Next spring, a week before I plant, I put
fertilizer in the rows. I put newspapers on each side of the rows,
which will keep the weeds and grass from growing around my okra
and tomatoes. The day I set out the tomatoes, I put a tablespoon
of Epsom salts under each plant and water all the plants real good.
It
is now November 6, and I still have two tomatoes from this year’s
garden to eat.
