Gardeners Wanted for the 2018 All-America Selections Growing Group!
..........................................A Seed Give-Away..........................................


We are randomly selecting 50 'Flower and Vegetable Winners' FB group members to receive 3-5 free seed packs of different AAS Winning varieties and starting our new Growing Group. We want to share our passion with your passion for growing a garden. We'd love for you to join our new FB group and share your gardens with us! Every 3-4 months we are going to have seed give-aways and growing groups. Here is how you enter... our first give-away and planting group!

All-America Selections is an 85-year-old non-profit, plant trialing organization that tests new vegetable, fruit, ornamental and flower varieties for garden performance. Only the top performers are deemed AAS Winners. We want to spread the word about who we are and what we do. We don't sell the seeds. We only declare the winners. You are probably already growing some declared #AASWinners. Anyone growing the 'Sweet Banana' pepper this year?



We are going to give seeds away regularly so please join our FB group. Oh and we will be giving out other prizes too. The 50 random winners will form our first AAS Growing Group. We hope you will share pictures of the growing seeds you win.

Pictures of them as baby seed starts, adolescent garden plants and mature harvests. All the stages of their growth. It should be a lot of fun! The more you share the greater your chances for the... grand prize! Just use the hashtags #aasgrowinggroup #aaswinners #aasrooters We also hope you will share your experience and help others seed start and grow their gardens.

We hope this group becomes a place for you to share, teach and learn. We hope the winning 50 members share some seeds with other members and the growing group grows from kindness. The best way to learn is from each other.

You can gain chances for randomly winning in three ways:

Use Mail Chimp to sign up through this link http://eepurl.com/djpYG5. That helps us easily collect your address to mail out the seeds (40 random winners)

Some random winners will be selected from group members that share a post or picture about their garden here in our FB group. Please use these hastags #aasplantingroup #aaswinners #aasrooters
Other random winners will be selected from subscribers to our All America Selections news letter.

You can sign up at our website at https://all-americaselections.org/. Check out the AAS Winners database for all the winning varieties of vegetables, fruits, flowers and ornamentals. You probably are already growing some of them. The ‘Sweet Banana’ pepper was an 1941 winner!

Ten Things About Tomatoes for 2015: Tips for Tomato Success!

Ten Things About Tomatoes for 2015 (Revised) Tomato Thing One: Two Types of Tomatoes Determinate and Indeterminate: There are two types of tomato plants. A tomato plant is either a determinate plant or indeterminate plant. A determinate tomato grows to a set height and stops growing. The fruits mature all at once or relatively close in time and the plant dies shortly after the final fruits mature. This determinate type of tomato is great for getting the first round of tomatoes from your garden (as they mature quickly) and they do well in containers. You might be able to plant two rounds of determinate tomatoes in your gardening zone. You can often plant them in May and again in July. The indeterminate tomato continues to grow and grow until frost. It sets fruit throughout the season. Only frost or disease will stop an indeterminate tomato from producing. Think of it this way, a determinate tomato grows to a pre determin ed size. Indeteriminate tomatoes often need to be staked and prun...

Understanding Garden Nitrogen: Products, Organic vs. Synthetic, Use and Strategies

Understanding Garden Nitrogen: Products, Organic vs. Synthetic, Use and Strategies Nitrogen is a macro-nutrient which means it is a main element all plants need to grow. Without it, you can't really have a thriving garden. The earth's atmosphere is made up of nearly 80% nitrogen but plants can't use nitrogen in that form. It must be fixed or transformed into a form the plants can absorb and use. Nitrogen can be changed biologically or chemically. Biological forms are often called organic nitrogen. Chemically processed nitrogen is often called synthetic. Ammonia is the basis for chemical fertilizers. Understanding Nitrogen Fertilizer - TRG 2014 I made this video to help you understand the different forms of nitrogen available for your garden. I use both organic and synthetic forms of fertilizers. I also use compost and nitrogen fixing legumes like beans, red clover and peas. I believe is in using garden fertilizers in and educated and purposeful way. My recommendation is you...

Three Part Series: Growing Cilantro, Basil, Parsley & Chives on a Kitchen Windowsill - Seed Starting

Image
Growing Cilantro, Basil, Parsley & Chives on a Kitchen Windowsill Part 1 of 3: Starting the Seeds Peat pellets are used for this project because they are going to spend most of their time sitting in water mixed with 1/2 strength liquid fertilizer. The design of  a peat pellet is perfect for this. It allows room for root growth and it will allow roots to grow out of the medium and into the water. Cilantro, basil, parsley and chives were selected for this video because they don't mind wet roots and can do well in water. This is a 3 part video series I am doing. This video explains the basic concept of growing herbs in peat pellets and water and how to plant the seeds. The goal is not to grow full sized herbs on your kitchen windowsill but to grow many many leaves. The 1/2 strength nutrient solution will keep the plants happy. You do need a windowsill with at least 8 hours of full sun, if you are germinating them on the sill. If you start them under lights and get them to size, yo...
