Slug (Eating your organic Vegetable)

Tips:
Try to lift and clear up containers or covers once in a while so that the slug dont have place to hide.

Organic Cherry Tomato (Inside the net)

2009-06-18T18:06:00.001-07:00

Our Cherry Tomatoes(winter plant) inside the net. We tried different ways to plant it. Start to plant around October and you can harvest around mid of January and produces crop til march.

Tips:
Much better if you plant
it outside, so that butterflies can help them to
grow. Without butterflies it wont give much
produce.

Organic Cherry Tomato (Outside the net)

2009-06-18T18:05:00.001-07:00

These are tomatoes outside the net... better produce... See how nice it looks...

Tips:
Try to cut some branches so that you can harvest better. Harvest while still orangy or else the birds will harvest it first before you.loool
