Eating lettuce fresh from the garden provides the best flavor and quality, but if you keep it in a plastic bag free from moisture, most lettuces will last 1-2 weeks. Lettuce cannot be stored long-term.SAVING SEEDSTo keep your seeds pure, plant lettuce varieties a minimum of 12 feet apart to prevent cross-pollination. Save seeds from the last plant to bolt since early bolting is a negative trait that will carry through to the seeds.Lettuce seeds are ready for harvest 12-24 days after flowering. Seeds will not all ripen at once so to get the highest quantity of seeds from your plant, shake the seed heads into a large paper bag once a day during the ripening process and keep the bag stored in a dry location at night.Read the whole article at http://issuu.com/groworganicgarden/docs/growing_organic_lettuce Excerpt on article on growing organic carrots...SAVING SEEDSInsects can cross-pollinate carrot blossoms up to 200 feet (to guarantee pure seed 1,000 ft is recommended). For the backyard gardener who is new to seed-saving, grow one variety, and make sure your neighbor isn’t growing carrots nearby.Queen Ann’s Lace, a close wild relative, will also cross-pollinate freely with your garden carrots. If this common weed grows in your garden, keep it mowed or pulled when your seed carrots are going into bloom.To harvest the seeds, pick seed heads when the second set of heads has ripened; if you wait until the third or fourth umbel to ripen, the earlier seeds will "shatter" (release and drop to the ground).To collect the greatest amount of seeds, plants can be bagged with spun polyester cloth (also known as Reemay) to catch all the ripening seeds as they shatter.Read the rest of the article at http://issuu.com/groworganicgarden/docs/growing_carrots Excerpts from How To Grow Organic Tomatoes....Pruned tomato plants are likely to produce fruit two weeks earlier than plants that are not pruned.Carefully break off lower branches that grow downwards. Pinch off any suckers (sprouts that grow between the main stem and the branches), leaving them on the top 1/3 of the plant to help shade the plant from sun scald.Do it early in the season while the sprouts are still easy to pinch off. Both of these parts of the plant suck energy out of the plant rather than putting that energy into production.Occasionally pinch off the tip of the plant to promote more flowering and fruit production.Continue weekly dose of liquid organic leaf spray until bloom.Once plants flower, side-dress plants with compost.WATERINGWatering should be moderate to high until fruit begins to ripen. During ripening, only small amounts of water should be applied to plants.More at http://hubpages.com/hub/Growing-Delicious-Organic-Tomatoes |
