Tomatoes

I didn't edit or mark up these photos so the plants are not real easy to see. All tomatoes were transplanted on May 13.

Upper left is our cherry tomatoes. The plant did not really bush out and only a small part of it is taller than the cage. At one point I thought it and the other plants in the area were dying. The plant is producing a couple of tomatoes every few days. Not even enough for a salad.

Plant is a Jelly Bean / Grape Tomato and should have been ready before July 18. It was starting to produce by then.

Upper right. These should have been our early tomatoes and they were. We had one tomato off of it before the other large tomato plant. But not what we were expecting. Plant is a lot more lush and and the tomato count on this is higher than the cherry tomatoes.

Plant is an Early Girl and should have been producing before July 4. It was not. I have had much better luck with this variety in the past than this year.

Lower left. I thought we hadn't gotten any huge tomatoes but these look like they are going to be huge.Lots of stalks, lots of tomatoes. I don't have when these should have been ready but there are still not any turning red. I put my two steel fence posts next to two tomato plants to hold up the cages. I picked the right two plants.

Plant is a Gold Medal, and now that I look closer it does say 'beefsteak.' So it is supposed to be one of the larger ones. These should have been ready a couple of days ago and nothing so far.

Lower right. Plant is doing great. So far we have only gotten a couple of tomatoes off of it but others should be soon to follow.

Plant is a Money Maker. These should have been ready a couple of days ago and I did pick the first two already.

All the tomatoes have a 'ready in ? days.' I assume that is from planting day. I have no idea when they are planted, I am using the transplanted date as when they should be ready. So that is giving the tomatoes an extra week or two to produce.

Still picking corn daily, or twice daily. And chopping down the stalk a day or so later.

Also picked a zucchini, it was under the plant so I could not get in a cut it off so I had to twist it off and it broke. But it was the good nine inch size. Looks like there should be a few more in a few days.

Seeds. Looking for things in the garage a few days ago I had found last years seed packages. Because I had my computer stolen, I had lost the pictures I had took of them last year so I took pictures of the packages. (I have proof)

Now that I have pulled my peas and moved the fence, I was going to plant some of those seeds. I can't find the ones that still had seeds in them. I found the empty ones and the ones that had flower seeds in them but not the 'late crop' seeds.

I did notice that a couple of the packages were on the floor instead of the shelf where I had laid them. And that this years seed packages have been pretty much shredded ... and that some pretty large items were knocked off the shelf. So I don't know if the whole package was carried away or if I just lost them (along with my mind)

Still trying to find homes for my egg plants. I think I have a half dozen right now and we aren't going eat any more of them. Too bad, because they are so easy to grow.

Our gypsy pepper is producing, but so far none of our bell peppers are, and only one of them has fruit on it.
