Organic Tomato Care

Tomato Time!

Our Love Language is Tomatoes!

February means it’s tomato time! We have received our first preview of spring tomatoes in 4″ containers. February through March is the prime time for tomato planting to ensure getting a bountiful harvest before the brutal Texas summer heat rolls in.

With temperatures still fluctuating between cold and warm, we recommend keeping them in pots this month so they can be easily protected in case of a freeze or cold snap. Once nighttime temperatures are consistently above 40F and soil temperatures reach 60F, tomato plants can be planted outdoors.

Companion Planting

Give Your Veggies a Companion!

Companions include dill, parsley, rosemary, sage, basil, marigolds, and more!

Incorporating these herbs and plants can attract pollinators and other beneficial insects like parasitic wasps, ladybugs, and butterflies. Others deter common pests such as aphids, spider mites, and hornworms.

Herbs that Repel

Plant these Mosquito Repelling Options!

Say goodbye to pesky mosquitoes with these natural repellents! Planting herbs such as lavender, rosemary, citronella, and mint not only add fragrance and texture to your garden but also keep the mosquitoes at bay. It’s a win-win for both you and your garden!
