Calling all Tomato growers

[R Wayne]

You guys are lucky. It's too cold here in the Seattle area....my tomatoes are just not growing but next week it's going to get hot so we might actually get some growth. Mine are only a foot or so tall and maybe have 1 set of flowers.

I’m around the Portland area and we’ve been lucky enough to get some sun over the last couple weeks. But next week it’s looking good. In the 80s and possibly 90s. I also had to replace most of my sweet peppers cause of the cold weather, they didn’t grow at all over the last month.
You can see the old one vs the new transplants.

Amazing what a little sun shine and nice weather can achieve.

Tomatoes are coming along nicely @Mozzy.
Weve been harvesting hardy leafy greens for a while like kale, spinach and lettuce. Got our first substantial spring/summer harvest. Golden beets and strawberries. Took the beets out early to free up some room to grow smaller sweet pumpkins. We’re a bit late on the pumpkins but it’s one of the few varieties that will still finish in time from seed. We might pick up a couple jack o lantern pumpkin transplants and see is they produce too.

The strawberries taste like fricken Candy, it’s amazing. I wanna grow an auto in the middle of our strawberry patch to try to harness some of this flavor

Rain, Rain, rain and more rain....
There are tomato's growing all over, but very slow compared to the wild flowers.

Interestingly enough, there's research showing that plants that you wait to start or transplant, that don't face those cold temps, will actually out yield ones planted earlier in the season. I make the same mistake every year, I have to say those peppers look great. Looks like summer will finally arrive for us this week! I'll try and post some garden photos, I wish you could do video on here.

Hello folks,
The tomatoes are starting to produce abundantly now.

The middle one is Black Prince. The other two are Cherokee Carbon.

Finally getting a few days of sunshine... or so says the weather man.... it might be that next to bankers, lawyers and politicians, weathermen are also liars...

anyway, my tomato's are growing, although slower than the proverbial tortoise, I did note the first flowers are forming though, so thats fun.

pics of the front side. wil take some shots of the rear later.
