Default May 21 update

]Hi,

Here"s an update for part of my garden - my "big" tomato bed with about 1/3 of my tomatoes.

To get a good look at things, you'll probably have to magnify the images and scroll through things. BTW, I just recently learned that you can enlarge (or shrink) the image on the screen by holding down the control key and using the scroll on your mouse to enlarge or shrink the screen images.

Anyway, I've labeled the pics in the file name. Here's a rundown of what's in each row with the fruit count and vine count for each plant in ():

First image is an overview of the bed. The bed in the forground contains 4 types of corn, Christmas lima beans, and Sarah's Choice canteloupe.

In the "big bed".......

Row 1 looking west to east:

Noir de Crimee RL (not?) - 13 (2)
Noir de Crimee PL (not) - 42 (2)
Black Krim - 14 (2)
Indian Stripe - 11 (3)
Indian Stripe grafted onto Prue - 7 (2)
Indian Stripe grafted onto Momotaro - 13 (2)
Amazon Chocolate RL - 10 (2)
Amazon Chocolate RL grafted onto Momotaro - 6 (1)
Vorlon - 14 (2)
Vorlon grafted onto Katana - 13 (2)

Row 2 looking east to west:

Mexico grafted onto Momotaro - 1 (2)
Mexico grafted onto Grandeur - 5 (2)
Mexico - 5 (1)
Mortgage Lifter - Estlers grafted onto Grandeur - 5 (1)
Mortgage Lifter - Estler's - 11 (2)
Prue grafted onto Momotaro - 0 (1)
Gary'O Sena grafted onto Katana - 5 (2)
Gary'O Sena - 13 (2)

Once they reach the top bar, I'll let them droop over then train them back down the second portion of line I have for each vine.

I'm really liking this trellising and heavy pruning - and the electric toothbrush!!
I've got some bugs and occasional diseased looking leaves (that I've just been cutting off), but on the whole things have been going great so far this year.

Anyway, enjoy and I'll post some more photos of my other tomatoes in a couple of days or so.

Anne
