Wild tomatoes
It’s hard to believe that a small tray of seedlings grew into this three foot tall forest.
Brand new 'maters
All the tomatoes love the maxi-kaps so much, that they just sprawled into lush bushy plants with thick stems and huge leaves.
They’ve survived our brutally frigid summer start and evening lows of 8 (which we still have).
All the leaves on the different varieties are different. From the broad velvety leaves of the Brandywines:
Brandywine... I think
To the lacy fern-like fronds of Ildi:
Totally different leaves
There are no tomatoes yet, but my knowledgeable friends are telling me it’s only a matter of days now.
I assume those'll be cherry tomatoes
I’ll do a tomato dance in my spare time.
In other news – I harvested my first zucchini yesterday, and I’ll be having some photos tomorrow.
Hello there. I just discovered your blog today and I am quite enjoying it – especially the post below about the chickens. My Dad and I call people like that the “Do-gooders” because they think they have to walk around doing “good” that nobody asked them to do. Anyway – thanks for the great posts and I look forward to reading more!
@Jocelyn – thanks so much! I completely agree with you and your Dad, I don’t know if people are bored or what, but they sure seem to like to tell others how to live. Thanks for stopping by!
I’m jealous of your tomato plants!
@ Teena – don’t be! They are very healthy looking, but due to our cold spring they still haven’t set fruit. At all. I’ll be lucky if I see any actual tomatoes by winter.
