Tomato Cultivars for Beginner Gardeners

   There are so many people out there who want to start gardening, then these individuals end up buying temperamental vegetable/fruit seeds, get frustrated with the certain care these seeds need and all together abandon gardening from this bad experience. I have found and recorded various tomato cultivar so that I could make this Beginner Gardeners Tomato Cultivar List.

Organic Italian Roma Tomatoes

Roma Tomato - Fast Germination. Can yield up to twenty tomatoes at a time. Took seventy days for first mature fruit.

Super Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato - Fast Growth. Full half-dollar sized fruit. Took fifty-five days for first mature fruit.

Yellow Pear Tomato - Fast Germination. Pear-shaped fruit the size of ones thumb. Took sixty days for first mature fruit.

Organic German Heirloom Tomato

German Heirloom Tomato - Average Growth. Pinkish hue. Great size and best as a slicing tomato, in my opinion. Took sixty-five days for first full fruit.

Organic Cherokee Purple Tomato

Cherokee Purple Tomato - Fast Germination. Average sized slicing tomato. Purple hue to flesh. Took seventy-seven days for first full fruit.

 * I used dead plant matter, sand, compost and manure for my soil base and re-mulched every other month.

   All of these cultivar take little effort to keep alive. All you need is a timer for your watering system and to prune them every other week. Remember this is all just a little bit of your time for amazing healthy organic food you grew for your loved ones and yourself. Not only will you feel accomplished growing your own food but you can also make your garden a place to hang out in your back yard. Which is pretty cool because then you get to show your friends/family how simple gardening is and the fruits of your ridiculously easy labour.

Until next time my fellow green thumbs...

Organic Indoor French Radish: End of Week 5

Organic Indoor French Radish

   Another week and more growth to show for these beautiful delicious little morsels. I cannot believe time has gone by this fast, I mean look! Each radish bulb seems to be wanting to come up from the soil. I went and looked over all of the weekly and bi-weekly photos I have taken of these Organic French Radishes over the past five weeks. Truly, I am amazed at what nature is. This proves that life is everywhere we look and we can help maintain these precious lives so that future generations know what they are and how they came to be. These radishes have grown and shown me that even with a little help, the outcome can be magnificent.

Organic Indoor French Radish

   You can see here that these little red devils are about ready for harvesting. I would say about four or five more days until I pluck these little mouth-watering organic french radishes. As soon as I pluck these I am going to sow more radish seeds and I am thinking about sowing two different radish cultivar seeds together in the same pot, which will give me a choice of which type of radish I would like to use that particular day after I harvest and store them properly.

Next post will hopefully be on a harvest video for these wonderful little guys. Thanks again for staying with my grow log and seeing how little effort it takes to grow your own organic healthy food. Subscribe/follow me for future updates and videos! Until next time fellow gardeners....

Organic Indoor Spinach and Swiss Chard: End of Week 5

 Organic Indoor Bloomsdale Spinach

   I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have this spinach plant growing. I love spinach. I would eat spinach every day if I could, I did not grow enough spinach to last me throughout this years winter unfortunately. But the only way we learn is through trial and error, so through my error I now know to start saving and storing my spinach a couple of weeks earlier for next winter. Bloomsdale spinach is an insanely fast reproducing spinach cultivar, I believe this cultivar should be a staple in every novice gardeners' garden. This plant usually will start fully producing around the fifty-fifth day after germination in my personal experience. This is the only spinach cultivar I have grown since I started gardening and I actually am going to try out a new spinach cultivar this spring in my organic outdoor garden, so be on the look out for those future posts and YouTube videos!

Organic Indoor Flamingo Pink Swiss Chard

   I cannot believe that my fiancees' cat decided to eat all of my swiss chard sproutlings I had previously growing in this container you see here. After planting new seeds about two weeks ago, we are at this stage yet again. But at least the growth rate and germination rate are extremely fast and ideal for the average garden. I am excited to try this plant, I always heard its similar to kale but has its own taste. It's always fun to try something new and exotic!

   Thanks again for following and reading my grow-posts, it means the world to me. Let me know what your favourite veggie or fruit is, and maybe I can tell you how to grow it! Until next time friends....

Organic Indoor Salad Greens: End of Week 5

Organic Indoor Eros Escarole

   One cannot describe how amazing it feels to know that I, with my own hands, have brought this plant to life from seed with the use of knowledge I have obtained through trial and error. This seed was extremely fast during the germination stage and had a steady growth rate throughout its life. This cultivar to me is a must grow salad green to accompany other leafy greens in whatever salad you decide to make. This growth is amazing considering this is one of the plants my cat decided to eat.

Organic Indoor Giant Caesar Lettuce

   Another one of the plants my cat thought belonged to him and his stomach. Yet look at the regrowth and how yummy these leafy greens look. I always grow this leafy salad green just because of the taste and how well this salad holds dressing whilst not getting soggy. This green I would say is about a third of the way to full maturity. Each head will be quite compact and wide. I am looking forward to sharing its full maturity with you fine folks, the pictures will be phenomenal!

Organic Indoor Gourmet European Mesclun Salad Mix

   These Gourmet European Mesclun Salad Mix leafy greens are about to mature in a day or so and be ready for my fiancee and I to have a little salad snack. These greens usually are done between twenty seven to thirty five days after germination. I will always regrow this cultivar of mesclun just because of the fact of continual harvest, which is extremely possible and highly recommended to do with the majority of mesclun cultivars.

   Another week, and more growth to show for it. I cannot wait to share a harvest video of salad greens with you fine folks. Which will come round soon enough! Thanks again for reading and following my posts, it means so much to me. Until next time friends....

Organic Indoor Tomatoes and Peppers: End of Week 5

Organic Indoor Tomatoes

    Another week has gone by and another picture that shows the various tomatoes I have planted growth. This is truly satisfying, recording a grow-log and sharing it with you fine folk so you can see the joys and wonder of gardening. There is no way I would ever give this hobby and lifestyle of mine up for anything. The rewards are beneficial and in the long run I get to learn something new everyday about each plant and each of their cultivars. So far I have learned that these tomatoes will rapidly grow if there is a substantial amount of light. Also that no matter how sunny it is that if these tomato plants get too hot, they will wither and die. So in order to protect these lovely plants, later on I will be covering my Outdoor Organic Garden with a layer of Burlap Cloth so that the plants can get enough beneficial shade and still thrive in the deserts burning sun.

Organic Indoor Peppers

    These pepper plants are already trying to start to flower even though I have not thinned them out and transplant them into their own individual Solo Cup. Each plant's stalk is incredibly thick and flexible even though they have only been growing for about five full weeks. Which is a great sign and shows that this plant will be healthy and hopefully hold up all of its' crop when it produces. All of these peppers I am growing are going to be specifically grown for my family. Sometimes I give out free extra crop to my neighbors and friends when my immediate family cannot finish it all before the crop spoils. Hopefully these pepper plants will keep a nutritious and fast reproduction rate when they start producing beautiful yummy peppers for me to pick. I will definitely set aside a few of each pepper to see how they handle being turned into a spice.

    Hopefully you will want to start planting a vegetable plant or two and give gardening a try. Thanks again for reading my posts, it means so much to me. Leave me a comment if you have any questions, recommendations for plants to grow, or just want to chat. Until next time friends....
