Calling all Tomato growers

[Purple2thepeople]

Love the gardens! I'll upload some pics later, I started a miniature farm this year hahaha

Have about a thousand plants started lol, I've been selling a bunch of young plants and seedlings, they have been generating a lot of interest

Love to see people growing their own food and all that

Wishing everyone a bountiful growing season with many harvests!

I got all my elevated beds built and have to finish filling the last one this week.
I transferred a lot of plants that were inside the greenhouse to the beds. Finished up all the fencing to keep the dogs out and added some cattle panel trellis portions .
As far as tomatoes, we have Super Beefsteak, Roma, Cherry, Store bought and Mortgage Lifter. I tried to plant them back near the cattle panel trellis and tucking them in the larger holes seems to work very well. We have a whole bunch of other plants like carrots, onions, squash, lots of cucumbers, watermelon, bell peppers and a couple types of hot peppers. I’m most excited about the tomatoes though.
I have one mortgage lifter inside the house, in a Hydrobucket system , just to try out these new to me DWC buckets. It’s a little different type of bucket system and hopefully it will turn out to be good because if the integrated lid holes for a trellis. I need to move it to a tent soon.

This big one in the middle is a store bought one

I love all the green and the nasturtium companion plantings

Both self seeded freebies @R Wayne ..... ..... I bought 1 packet of nasturtiums about 5 year ago....and they self seed every year... Bargain.....

And I recycle my dish water onto the pots....so I usually get free tomatoes or peppers.........it is fun with the tomatoes trying to guess Who it is.... but I know I enjoy them...coz I must have eaten them for them to get in the dish water.

its been wet, very wet and pretty cool along with the rain.... but they survive so there is that
They really just require a week or two with some warmth brighter days.... its not a lot to ask for is it?
