Beefsteak Tomato



The Tomato Beefsteak, ‘Lycopersicon lycopersicum,’ produces huge tomatoes that can reach up to two pounds each. This old favorite is very meaty and thick, and perfect for sandwiches. These tomatoes are also useful in nearly any dish requiring a tomato flavor. Wire cages should be used to hold up the plants and fruits. The soil should be well drained and high in organic matter. In warmer regions, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for a harvest in the winter. When watering, the soil should be soaked to a depth of six to ten inches. The plants require at least six hours of direct sunlight every day.

The Geranium Appleblossom, ‘Pelargonium x hortorum,’ produces beautiful soft pink double flowers, which are complemented nicely by distinct leaf zoning.

Having an upright growth habit and great landscape performance, these plants are commonly used as a bedding or container plant that is grown in almost every region of the country. The plants feature succulent leaves and stems.

Geraniums should be planted in ordinary well-drained soil. Too much fertilization will result in excessive foliage with fewer flowers. To promote extra bushiness, the shoots should be pinched off. Deadheading of spend flowers will promote enhanced flowering.
