[QUOTE="gl55, post: 4238511, member: 729"] I buy well established plants at nurseries over 12 inches tall from bottom of pot to top of plant. Plant them deep (10-12 inches) with some bone meal, calcium and fertilizer. Pinch off the lower leafs that will be below ground. All those little hairs on the stem will grow roots, Once every 2 weeks for the first couple of months mix a non coated aspirin in 1/2 gallon of water in a spray bottle and spray all the leafs on al the plants. Water them every 2 days until the temps get into the high 80s and 90s then water every day. I plant a variety and have had good luck with Cherry, Early Girl, Better Boy., Arkansas Traveler, and Champions. And you never know. I do the same things pretty much every year and some years they don't produce much and some years I have bumper crops and have more than we can eat and give away. Last year was a bumper crop. I only have a 6x12 ft garden that gets full sun until about 5:00 PM then is shaded my a big pecan tree. I use pretty big cages not the little cone shaped cages you can buy and will plant 2 plants in each cage. I made them out of that concrete reinforcing wire. 24-30 inch diameter cages. [/QUOTE]
