How to Plant a Tomato to Prevent Transplant Shock
by prism | in Home & Garden > Gardening & Landscaping
Tomato plants are very susceptible to transplant shock. They generally recover in a few days but any amount of shock will leave your tomato plant weaker than necessary. Minimizing transplant shock with your tomato plants is easy and results in a stronger plant that will grow vigorously, be more disease resistant, and produce a higher yield of tomatoes.

I make wine a few times a year with various fruits that grow on my property... I'll have to try Dandelion wine this year as well... Because I sure have plenty of those growing around here too... LOL Good article...

I have seen a lot of this also. My pet peeve with writing is that spell checkers always tell me when I write theatre it is spelled wrong when actually, theatre usually refers to live productions, and theater refers to movie houses.

for How to Grow a Vegetable Garden Series (June, July, August) on 1261569659
Excellent article on gardening. There is nothing that compares to fresh grown fruits, veggies, and herbs. I like the idea that I know what is on them... or should I say NOT on them. I think your article will encourage people to give gardening a try even if they only start with a couple tomato plants the first year.

I love it!!! As Art Linkletter once said "Kids Say The Darndest Things!" LOL Your grand daughter sounds like a little spitfire. It's great that you are having the opportunity to get to know your grand kids.
for Dandelion Wine Recipe on 1261567631
It is one of the more time consuming wines to make due to the effort of picking the dandelions. I was reminded of that this past summer when I came across a recipe for dandelion jelly and decided to try it. Very tasty and good for the experience. However, the next time I put that much work into picking dandelions, I think the effort would be better served as wine. :) Thanks for the comments!

for How to Wire a Central Air Thermostat Your Self on 1260438443
Great article! We avoided installing an energy saving programmable thermostat for several years thinking it was probably complicated and dealing with electrical stuff is a bit scary for most people. Hiring someone is ridiculously expensive considering how quick and simple the job really is. We finally made the leap last year and I will say that if my DH found it easy to do, then anyone can do it! Also, we bought a mid-priced programmable and it has the little wire grip connections so no wire nuts or electrical tape required!
