About your tomato page: Great article, but I didn't see removing sucker leaves in it.

When you look along the main stem of the tomato plant you will see little leaves growing in the crotches of the off shoot branches. These are known as the sucker leaves. They serve no real purpose to the plant, other than suck up nutrients that the rest of the plant can use for setting the fruit. By pinching off these little suckers, you are helping the plant to grow bigger and better and more Tomatoes. You only want to remove them from the main stem. All other leaves are needed to absorb the sunlight needed by the plant.

I like your site by the way. DollarSeed Zone 5 NY

My answer: I don't quite understand why some leaves are bad and some good, but I'll try an experiment the next time I grow tomatoes and see if it makes any difference in my garden! Thanks for the tip and the kind words. :)

Update Feb. 2012: The Tasteful Landscape community has decided to do an experiment to see whether removing or keeping the suckers works the best! Learn more about how to join in.

Your site is lovely -- something I would have loved to have done! I've had RA for almost 40 yrs now & am very limited in what gardening I can do, but I love plants & am thrilled to see a site like this. Cathy

Very interesting and informative. Though I am located at Dehea Dun (Uttarakhand) INDIA the data given has helped me in many ways. We have a small Group of gardeners here called Doon Gardening Society. Our website is http://www.doongardeningsociety.yolasite.com

Wish you all the luck you need for this very useful work for the GARDENERS.

I enjoyed your pages because they had REAL information ... and in-depth info. Not the usual surface stuff which leaves you with so many questions still unanswered. Great job! Amy Crawford

Found the link to your site via ROE2 ... glad to see you are a member and this site will be a VERY useful addition.

In looking at the page on tomatoes (excellent) I did note that you did not mention what I think is one difference between determinate and indeterminate plants. The determinate grow and ripen their fruit all at once while an indeterminate plant has fruit at various stages of growth. The determinate plant is great for canning or when you want to harvest in a short period of time while the indeterminate gives ripe fruit over a long season. Enjoying the site! Amy

Beautiful, informative & delicious site, Ma'am, Thank you for putting it together. Please remember to add something about one of the most important functions of rosemary to the parents/grandparents of school children: rosemary repels head lice! Best wishes for your important work, Napita

Hi, I noticed your "like" on facebook for my page (recognised that lovely picture from your site, it is really gorgeous!), so thanks!

Believe it or not, I'm also in to edible gardening!! Not in any way on the scale you are, but I've eaten my share of daylilies (whenever the slugs don't eat the plants into the ground) and I had at one time big plans for an edible hedge which unfortunately never materialised. I just planted our orchard to be.

All the best, and thanks again for linking, I appreciate it! Nicki Savantes
