mrs.cos Posted June 11, 2012 Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 I came to OH for 2wks and Just got back here to TX and the tomato plants are freaking huge compared to when I left. Easily 4+ times bigger both in height and thickness. Toamtos like it HOT HOT HOT! (just water those buggers!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted June 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2012 As of yesterday, the tomato plants had reached just under the tops of the stakes. Huge. We had to pute up some fencing around them to help support them, as we have tied them off as much as we really can. Jealous of the size Just don't let your husband know.

This past Saturday we spent 8 hours in the Garden, harvesting our Snow peas, a few of the cabbages, and the red potatos, and planting 6 rows in the new area. Peanuts, squash, pumpkins, melons and corn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drewhop Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Extremely Jelly. My garden hates me this year. I need to cut a tree down or something. Not enough light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted July 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2012 Harvested the potatos. This is the yield from six (!) plants http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/Garden/2012-06-24_17-10-54_506.jpg Put some more tomatos in their place http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/Garden/2012-07-01_13-09-25_608.jpg Took up some onions as well. these things were CRAZY strong when we ate them, delicious! http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/Garden/2012-06-24_17-11-00_541.jpg Here is a panoramic to compare to the one earlier in the thread. http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h23/lhiannonshee/Garden/2012-07-01_13-09-04_61.jpg It's a lot of work. Seriously, it's like a scond job. The food is just SO damn good though. The potatoes are amazing. Totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
