Carrots Love Tomatoes Urban Gardening Kit

$24.95

This urban gardening set, designed by FARMcurious especially for soggy San Francisco summers, serves as a starting point for learning the basics of companion planting in an urban environment.

Louise Riotte’s book Carrots Love Tomatoes demonstrates the benefits of companion planting in a way that is easily understood by the beginning gardener.  From vegetables to herbs, trees and native plants, she guides you thought which plants thrive near other plants, as well as which pairings to avoid.

The Lemon Drop Tomato, with its sweet-tart flavor, was the winner of Seed Savers’ Exchange 2010 Tomato Tasting.  Heavy sets of 1/2″-3/4″ translucent yellow-green cherry tomatoes continue producing even in cold wet growing conditions (like a coastal summer).  Plants are indeterminate and ripen 80-90 days from transplant.  25 seeds included.

The Paris Market Carrot is a 19th Century French heirloom that forms early round red-orange carrots, 1-2″ in diameter.  With a round instead of long body, they do well in containers, making them the perfect patio carrot and ideal partner for the Lemon Drop Tomato!  Includes 25 seeds.

The felt-like 5-gallon Aerobag is designed to give better root health than a normal pot through aeration and increased root efficiency.  It comes with handles so you can move to to where the sun is in your plot and is lightweight enough to hang from a balcony or fence.

Kit includes:

  • Carrots Love Tomatoes book by Louise Riotte
  • 25 Lemon Drop Tomato Seeds
  • 25 Paris Market Carrot Seeds
  • One 5-Gallon Aerobag

 

Just add soil and water!
