This is my zone 8b Louisiana garden journal.
This winter in December I planted some beefsteak tomato seeds. I am experimenting with growing beefsteak tomatoes in the greenhouse since our subtropical zone 8b climate doesn’t allow time for them to set fruit. I grow Romas and cherry tomatoes in the springtime because of our hot climate. Let’s see if I can get some delicious beefsteak tomatoes for BLTs! Lately, I think I need to start sorting and saving my seeds. The seeds I collected last fall look good.
This winter I am attempting to grow some cut flowers and also some pansies to display outside during the springtime. I want some beefsteak tomatoes and since it is too hot for them here I am trying to grow them through the winter in my heated greenhouse to see what I can get. I ordered some daylilies and the divisions were small so I am taking care to overwinter them in the greenhouse to try and get some size on them before planting out.
