Stop wind from damaging your tomatoes and peppers by planting them as deep as the first leaves.

After you plant strawberries for the first year, pick off the blooms to make the plant healthy and make better, and bigger strawberries.

Water your tomatoes with 1 tablespoon of epsom salts to a gallon of water.

Water your plants with a little milk, mix crushed egg shells into the soil, water plants moderately but regularly to avoid getting blossom end rot in tomatoes. - Dianne Barber, Ohio USA

When growing green peppers, put large rocks next to each plant, the sun will warm the rocks and draw heat to the pepper plants, pepper plants like heat, and they seem to grow much better.

Water tomatoes from the bottom, they don't like getting their leaves wet.
