You are off to another great start! I loved looking at your garden pictures last year and am looking forward to seeing them again this year. Which were your favorite micros?
My daughter too has always disliked tomatoes. I would still have her do the annual taste test with me so that she would get a few bites in. Last year she really shocked me when I was talking about my grow list and she asked me to grow more of those amazing pink tomatoes. I asked which ones and she said that all of them were delicious and juicy.... Go figure... |
Curiousity demands that I ask if you have a full time job elsewhere, I think you said you did,but I forgot to remember.;):lol:

How many tomato plants do you grow? |

Carolyn[/QUOTE] Yes Carolyn i do have a full time job at a local water utility. Most weeks i work around 45 hours but there are the heavy weeks i work 65+ every now and then. Im also on 24 hour call every 6 weeks for a week. I have my garden setup down pat. The first year of this system how ever was an endless learning curve. [QUOTE=jmsieglaff;614907]Love that setup! Best of luck in 2017! How many tomato plants do you grow?[/QUOTE] I usually grow anywhere between 80 and 150 plants. With the micros last year i had well over 200 but this year im toning it back a touch. At least thats what i keep telling myself.:)) |

This year I learned what having a truly productive season is and it's almost to much. I never knew before just how much work it would be if I had a real season!:lol: As usual your garden looks gorgeous, and so are your kids.:) |

Potted up 37 Pepper seedlings tonight. Its going to be another HOT season. They may be little now but soon enough they will be nasty. There is a few sweets and bells in the mix though.

Healthy looking transplants HTG.

Can't wait to see what it looks like in a couple months. Very cool.

Thanks Jpop and Bio-Ag-Guy. The first round of seedlings should be hitting the soil this weekend.
