Organic Yellow Pear Tomato 75 Seeds -Heirloom

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Hirts Gardens


I'd never tasted or even seen this type of tomato before but I decided to risk it and have a go at growing them even though I wasn't sure they'd grow in tropical Trinidad (some fruits/veg need a cold spell to grow well and we are pretty much around 32 degrees celsius all year round). They were very easy to germinate and grew well. I grew them in a large trough-type container, and the plants grew to about four feet tall. They are a bit lanky and do require staking or caging especially if you live in a windy area otherwise they will be blown over. I planted basil in with them to help keep away pests but I was still troubled by one pest - stinkbugs! I had to continually pick them off the stems of the plants but this is not unusual as I read that ... Read More:

Composting Bin: Extendable

All compost bins work pretty much the same so the least expensive ones are the best. These bins, however, can be attached end to end to form a double or triple sized bins for really serious organic growers like me.

EarthBox RB-EB-TRC-PBB Garden Kit Terra Cotta

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Earthbox

October 02, 2006
I am just harvesting the last of the tomatoes from this year's crop. The Earthbox did everything they claimed. We did tomatoes (picked dozens and dozens and dozens), squash (we thought about leaving all our extras on neighbors' porches at night), corn (yummy!), peas, beans, and herbs. The complaint in one review about expense is only true if your time is worth nothing. We did not weed, fertilize, spray for bugs, or do anything but water - five minutes a day for a huge abundance of vegetables. I'm hoping for an Amazon sale so we can pick up four or five more. I've gardened for a lot of years. This is the only way!

Hindu Rope Plant - Hoya carnosa compacta - 2 1/2" pot

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Hirt's Gardens


I love this plant. It was in perfect condition when I got it yesterday. I ordered two plants and have repotted it to a larger pot. It looks good now. I hope I can keep it alive. I wonder if it will multiply in the pot?
I have ordered seven different plants lately and love them all except for one. I love the service I recieved from Hills Gardens. I will order again. Wanda, Waskom Texas.

Luster Leaf Rapitest Mini Soil Moisture Meter #1810

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Luster Leaf


I saw many negative reviews so I must report I have had a different experience. I tend to use potting mix or loamy soils so I don't know if that is a factor. However in meter seems to report put water as maximum as I expect. With soils I known to be completely dry is reports as dry. In one section where I have peas it quickly reports as being on the dry side as I would expect as they are heavy water users when making pods.
I would certainly test against known conditions to make sure the unit is working but it certainly has made is much easier for me to quickly gage water.

Brussel's Jade Indoor Bonsai Tree in Water Pot

Childrens Toy Shop > Outdoor Living > Plants and Planting
from: Brussel's Bonsai


The tree is beautiful but upon arrival when I opened the carton some of the dirt and pebbles were scattered around in the box. Also, no humidity tray was included - the last place I purchased from online included that with a bag of pebbles to put in it.
