... now comes the hard part - waiting!

I decided to try those plastic Automator trays this year, since all the studies say that toms like red plastic. Of course, my friend Janet, who has a three-year-old, says they look like "Tomato potties." We'll see how they work out.

Everything seems to be growing fine. So my final list is (one plant of each):

Sunray
Church
Sungold
Cherokee Green
Cheorkee Chocolate
Greater Baltimore
Hungarian Heart
Lemon Boy
Stupice
Hopkins
Black Krim
Chesapeake
Polish Dwarf (in a pot)

I inadvertantly gave away all my Kimberlys (Kimberlies?), but folks have brought them to MAGTAG before. I'm most curious and excited about the Mid-Atlantic collection (Sunray, Greater Baltimore, Chesapeake, and Hopkins), although Scarab and Delmar were duds.

A pair of catbirds have been keeping busy surveying their territory from my tomato pens, hopping down every now and then to snag a bug or two from the veggie patch.

So how are everybody else's tomatoes coming along?

P.S. They sprung my Dad from the nursing home last week, and he's looking forward to some fresh tomatoes from me in a month or so (I hope!). And I had my last chemo treatment on Thursday, so at least that's over with.
