Spring is Back
How do I know? Because our geese have returned, and so have our ducks! Our pastures are starting to get green again, and the horses are all enjoying the sun, laying around and starting to shed out! I really love this time of year, when things become new again.
It’s time to get my garden going. I’ve got my starter kit for seeds ordered and it should be here by this weekend, and get some of the plants started in my kitchen, where there is plenty of sunlight, and I can keep them babies warm.
I’ve got a horse stalled, so my compost pile can build. I’ll be needing this before long. I swear by a horse compost pile. That, and Feast® 9-18-9!
Let me SHOW you why I like the Conklin’s Feast® 9-18-9 so much.
| Jerry Pettit of Sturgis, Michigan planted 14 tomato plants a week after Memorial day. The soil was very wet and Jerry didn’t know if the plants were going to live so he waited a week before he applied Feast. He mixed an ounce of Feast 9-18-9 in a gallon of water and poured it on the soil around the plants. He has done this another two times, once in July and once in August. |

Jerry has already taken off 3 bushels from these 14 plants. As you can see, the vines are actually pulling the cages out of the ground! Jerry has raised tomatoes all his life and has never seen anything like this. In fact, Jerry’s uncle is a truck farmer and accused Jerry of buying the plants from a nursery and transplanting them for them to be so far along and producing like they are! *This Testimony is from the Voume 100 Aug 2009 Edition of Family 21 Newsletter |
My own personal results were not quite as good as Jerry’s, but I’ll be the first to admit, that, for a first time tomato grower last year, I grew enough tomatoes to make 6 large batches of Salsa and 2 batches of speghetti sauce from my 9 plants, and still had some left over for salads at each all season long! So, I’m really looking forward to what I can do this year, with more knowledge, and a better understanding of the plants themselves.
Feast is available in different quantities, depending on your needs, small or large. Visit Diamond M Enterprise for full selection, under Lawn and Crop Management
