* HOW I SCAB POTOES for FALL PLANTING * (Fall 2022) Two Turtle Garden & Outdoors 2022-11-19 | When you get big green potatoes, you need to have something to do with them. You shouldn't eat green potatoes, but you can plant them. I cut large potatoes to scab a few days and we had one night of -2C, so failure is an option.. I will do a couple of updates through the winter. I am wildly optimistic for success come spring.

** WHY I PLANT POTAOES IN THE FALL ** Two Turtle Garden & Outdoors 2022-11-12 | The wife and I planting potatoes and having fun doing this. Last year was the first year we tried fall planting and it was a huge success. Again I don't like much fuss, so we sow our spuds in the fall to cut down on fuss, such as winter seed storage, and planting in spring. We were incredibly successful last year using this Irish method here in Canada. Those winter and spring jobs are now off the table, so you can concentrate on the patio and yard.
****TOMATO SEEDLING STARTS**** (In the fall?) REALLY?? Two Turtle Garden & Outdoors 2022-11-12 | You can plant tomatoes in the fall outdoors thanks to a protective slime that coats the tomato seeds. Just a tiny bit of cover is all that is needed here in zone 5b Ontario. The advantage here is you don't need to start seedling inside come spring. This will save on mess, waste, and time and scorn from the wife.. subscribe,,,
TOMATO PLANTING IN FALL? Two Turtle Garden & Outdoors 2022-11-11 | Tried planting tomatoes out in fall for spring germination three years ago and its been a total success for three years straight. A no fuss method of getting seedlings in the spring and there is no need to start seedling as they catch up fast. The tomato seeds are protected by tomato slime and this gets the seeds through the winter.
FALL PLANTING OF TOMATO TOMATA Two Turtle Garden & Outdoors 2022-11-11 | Fall planting tomato in mid November up here in Canada. The slime inside the tomato protects the seeds for the unforgiving Canadian winter here in zone 5B Ontario. In the spring you separate the seedlings and plant where you may. The tomatoes will appear as fast as if you transplanted in spring. I have used this method last three years 100% success rate INSPTE OF TEMPS GOING AS LOW AS -33c. Give it a try!
