Has a Suggestion For Tomato Plants
Unsuccessful Amarillo tomato gardeners were offered fresh hope this morning by J. F. Rosborough, horticulturist with the Texas A M Extension Service. He advised cutting off non bearing plants near the ground where young sucker sprouts grow from the main stem and applying fertilizer around pruned plants to stimulate a fall crop. Peppers and okra should fare better if cultivated and fertilized.
