No joke, The overall Austin garden shown today, April 1, 2018. Carrots and onions in the plot on the right. Cold frame in background on right, 800-gallon water tank on left. About a dozen tomato plants to be grown in sturdy cages. Stupice, with tiny fruit. "Wispy" Sioux, with turned over leaves. Two of Mr. Lofthouse' Ot' Jagodka, the smaller of which is grafted onto Supernatural rootstock. Recovering from the graft has set the plant back. Surprisingly, roots of Ot' Jagodka developed as strongly as did Supernatural, now see no reason to graft that variety...unless we find signs of soil-born disease later in the season.
