Get Your Green Thumbs Ready!

Yes folks, spring is it the air, and it's time to start those tomato plants!! I love growing my own tomatoes all summer long, though this year may be a bit different. In years past, I would grow them directly in the ground, throw some top soil down, a little compost...and let nature take care of the rest. Well, sometimes nature isn't so friendly, and my yummy tomatoes end up food for other little creatures....Yes, I mean bugs. Caterpillars galore would swarm over my prize Tomatoes, not leaving me much to munch on.

Well, that's not going to happen this year. For one, my tomatoes will be grown on my deck, not down in a garden...don't have one. We just moved to a great apartment, but no room for a decent garden, so my veggies will be potted this year. Secondly, I'm going to try something new.A great new organic tomato growing kit is my secret weapon. The Safer brand Tomato and Vegetable Gardening Kit comes complete with everything you need to grow your Tomatoes. Well, less the soil. But hey, it has everything else! First I have to tell you about Steak It Easy. This is a great new tool for every veggie gardener out there. I don't know how many times I've fought with my vine plants. Trying to keep them from drooping, keeping the veggies off the ground. Well, the Steak It Easy does all the work for you. As your plant grows, the Steak It Easy can be extended to the height of your plants, up to an amazing 6' tall! It's has awesome EZ Step Stake Anchors that make it easy to install, any time of season!

But hey! That's not all. Included in this kit is the Safer brand Tomato and Vegetable Insect Killer. Now, I know we all love to eat organic, and hey, that's why we grow our own right! Well, on of the biggest issue that we have when we're growing organic are those pesky bugs that I mentioned before.
