Hosting tours on your farm or ranch can provide additional income and help tell an important story about Oregon agriculture, rural communities and local food production. Here's a guide to getting started.
Q: I have been manually trying to dig this plant up in my yard and it keeps coming back. Does it respond to salt/vinegar treatment or burning? It seems to put out a lot of bulbs and tubers and is in several parts of my yard. I don't like using chemicals in my yard, so that isn't an option.
Q: I read not to spray water on my tomatoes, only hydrate from the bottom. I've heard that spraying on a hot, sunny day can blister veggies. Today I replanted my starter plants; I'm aching to spray them with water because it is so hot today. Should I wait until dusk, spray all veggies but tomatoes?
Q: My Legend tomato plants already have blooms on them so do I need to get them planted outside soon or into bigger pots? When can I transplant them to outside containers in the garden here in the Willamette Valley?
