2024 April 29th -- Garden Update (Wasabi Cameo, Tomatoes & the Month of May In My Mind)

My mind is speaking from the future and thinking all things tomatoes.
*Mexican cilantro is also known as culantro. Seeds are hard to find but are not too difficult to germinate. I always thought that culantro was difficult to grow but they are pretty hardy.

So much happening and so much to do! Always good to see your garden. It is truly thriving and so alive! Thank you for sharing!

[@neverenoughdirt]

Thank you, Sam!

Last day of April here in Fort Worth, Texas.

I'm making holes in the bottoms of egg cartoons, to use them for seed starters.

I have a large Red Oak near the side of my garden - the trunk is maybe 15 feet away from the garden, I haven't noticed any allelopathic affects on plants I grow on that edge, tomatoes, peppers, rhubarb.

[@victorwadsworth821]

It would worry me about nutrients stolen from one to another. I don't grow potatoes because they use up so many nutrients.

[@neverenoughdirt]

Ooo. That is good to know. Thanks for sharing your experience. I will put an oak back on the table.

You might post the growing Zone in your title, I heard the growing zone has shifted some.

[@neverenoughdirt]

Yup, that's correct. They recently updated the growing zones. I am still in 10b.

[@victorwadsworth821]

You like Pot, watch the curbs, I've seen & picked up some good ones.

[@neverenoughdirt]

For sure! There have been food finds from the curb. I only regretted that one time I decided to drop the kids off school first, lol. It was a large terra cotta pot, ha

[@victorwadsworth821]

@@neverenoughdirt I found oner like you said. nice.

Got a young pecan tree, I'm thinking a peach tree has started growing very near the pecan, it has past the transplant time, I'm thinking of cutting my loses and cutting out the peach at that loss which isn't a loss it started on its own, any thoughts?

[@neverenoughdirt]

Flip a coin? Heads, transplant it now. Tails, wait until the dormant season to transplant. Ideally, you'd want to grow peach using cultivated scion. You can use your volunteer peach as the rootstock. All the while you can wait and see how the peaches taste off the volunteer tree.

I think Coriander has two common names, can't remember.

[@neverenoughdirt]

It took me a bit to remember it. Ironically, it is how I normally know it as-- culantro.
