Tomato - Ace
The Tomato Ace, 'Lycopersicon lycopersicum', is an old favorite with excellent tomato flavor and it is great for canning. The 5 to 6 inch in diameter Ace tomato weighs about 7 to 8 ounces which is a decent sized tomato. Yields are exceptional for such a large tomato. Ace is a low acid tomato for those who prefer such. Ace is an intermediate tomato which means they continue to grow indefinitely until frost. Tomatoes are generally started inside. They may also be seeded outside after the last average frost date. In warm winter/hot summer areas, tomatoes can be planted in early fall for winter harvest. Tomatoes prefer well drained soil that is high in organic matter. Tomatoes need at least 1 inch of water a week. Soak to depth of 6 to 10 inches when watering. They need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Prune the intermediate tomatoes in order to keep a single stem. ... get more information
Grass - Blue Eyed The tufts of narrow, upright bluish-green leaves lend a casual air to the flower bed or rock garden. They resemble an ornamental grass until constellations of bluish-purple star shaped flowers appear for several weeks in the spring. The Blue Eyed Grass blooms in early spring through early summer. They may rebloom in the fall. Blue Eyed Grass prefers well drained sandy soils. They are somewhat drought tolerant but they like evenly moist soil. Plant in the early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before the last average frost date or late summer/early fall. The Blue Eyed Grass is used in flower beds, cottage gardens, meadows, or rock gardens where it's self sowing habit and wandering ways are assets.
