Well Last Freeze has Past.. I HOPE!!

I am getting ready to put three Lemon Boy tomatoes in the ground.. I need to line the super deep holes with newspaper, wet them with compost tea and let them sit for a while.. I need to go get some manure, top soil and moss for the rest of the garden I need to bring up to speed.

Sweet 100 Tomatoes

All of these sweet one hundreds were picked Monday afternoon, from one plant.

This plant is still producing many, bite size, perfect for salad tomatoes.

Of course they rarely make into my house.

I eat them right off the vine!!!

Yum!

No Gas, No Rain No Problem??

Well we have had ZERO rain since my last post. Yes Fay was the last to bring my yard rain.. We have also been under a gas crunch here in the SouthEast.. Crazy, Crazy, and more Crazy. I still am getting tomatoes, but not a ton, as the season is winding down. I did have four different come on at the very same day. Lemon Boy, Celebrity, Roma and and unknown Green Heirloom tomato. They sure tasted wonderful on my homemade chicken enchiladas.

Tomatoes Coming On! And the Pumpkin Grows On!

Sweet 100 Cherry Tomato. Doing very well, but needs trellised. It is an indeterminate that is a vine. Produces well!


The above three are heirlooms, I am anxiously waiting to see what type they are.. They are also indeterminate, which means they grow and grow and produce on a vine like plant until the first frost. I had a packet of heirloom tomato seeds I started indoors, I just picked some seeds and now we are getting close to finding out what they are..
The Pink Elephant, continues it's growth.. Maybe we will get one pumpkin out of it.

Yummy!! They Were Delish!

First Harvest (if you can call it that)

I had my first harvest today. Two Yellow Boy tomatoes, One Celebrity tomato, One Better Boy tomato and plenty of basil.. The tomatoes are really starting to do something now that everyday is in the 90's. They love the heat.

Tomatoes and Basil

I am so excited, the first sweet 100 is ripe and the celebrity and lemon boy are doing well. My unknown heirlooms are much slower, but a couple even have sweet yellow blooms.. Can't you tell I am excited. I grow basil and marigolds around them, old folklore from grandma I guess.
