Calling all Tomato growers

[hecno]

Check this out guys , It came from a palm trunk I found at work . it was well rotted and broken down with worms and curly grubs in it and the outside of the trunk acted as a casing , Best of both worlds Worm poo and frass , So I top dressed 2 of the tomato plants with it the put the straw back on top . @WildBill Should make for a good tea .

It looks like our hose water plus the same organic soil in 5g/3.8l SIPs like I grow indoor autos in, works pretty well for cherry tomatoes too...one bucket has 2 seeds from a purple strain someone gave me a handful of last year and they were good enough that one was saved from being eaten in order to plant it, and the other bucket just has a couple seeds from a decent tasting store bought random kind from last year too. I believe they are about 8 weeks from planting, drinking a gallon+ and growing by the day :

They look great, they are like 3 times the size of mine. Our weather has been a little tricky so far this year. But hopefully we’ll get more warm weather and sun soon.

Garden is finally coming together. I transplanted most of the tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers a couple weeks ago. The weather went cold and cloudy shortly after so they haven’t grown much but are finally looking more established. Here’s the inground tomatos. Some slicers, cherries and heirlooms.

Next is our potatoes, one purple skinned variety and a yellow banana variety. Need to mound them up again soon.

Strawberries have been very happy since my wife cleaned them up. They exploded with growth over the last couple months.

Peppers and cukes (some lettuce and onion too). Might need to get some new cukes. These ones have been struggling with the cold weather.

Last is our pitbull I over wintered. Behind is one of our blueberry bushes.

I almost forgot the 3 tomatoes I finally transplanted into pots. Should have done it weeks ago but hey, we’ll see what happens.

Looking good in those beds...hope you get some warmer weather soon .

The various cherry tomato plants here are still going nuts in the SIPs (the white string is tied to 3 ft bamboo poles for ref):
