All my tomatoes are in the ground
... 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. |
