Thought I would check out the new camera with a little update on the maters and the peppers. they are starting to go over the cages now. I decided to plant a squash plant between the pepper plants, but I don't it is going to have enough room in that little space.

got so many tomatoes had to cut those just beyond ideal stage, get rid of bad spots and made a nice pot of spaghetti sauce. yum!

good to know... I 'pop' them too from garden... (popping sweet 100's) round, warm, sweet, ripe, rosey... but I do think they run away with it... once into the fry pan with some olive oil and butta'.... man, they sure are good. pure Italy all the way... and no terrorist threatened travels to worry about...

ropen, What diameter did you make those cages?

ropen, What diameter did you make those cages?

2 feet takes about 6 feet of concrete wire each. I use my klien linemans pliers and custom cut to where it gives a wrap wire and cut the bottom to where it has stab wire protruding from the bottom if I'm making sense? A roll of wire makes I think it was 16 cages its best to cost share with neighbors

Not really many news.
This is a terrible year for tomatoes, peppers and Solanaceae here due to the weather: late blight is literally making life miserable for everybody from homeowners to professional growers here.
To this it must be added I had to spend three weeks in hospital and then in rehab due to a health problem and my potager was left to my brother, self-proclaimed owner of a "brown thumb".
In short I don't expect much, if anything from tomatoes and peppers.
Zucchini and Summer squashes are doing quite well however and tomatilloes seem to have been spared most of their cousins' problems so far.

I might even get a mater sandmich before the 4th of july! Pulled these off today.

 

[ropensaddle]
