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!)

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. Lol

Welp, as of this Satruday, our largest tomato plants have crested the stakes...

The onions alongside of them are tall, as well...

The peppers and potatos really enjoyed the rain we got early last week....

And the BIG news is that we have expanded our garden to include THIS new area...

I wasn't there for the rest of the cultivating, but It was plowed and disked, and we have tilled a large section of the eastern side. 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.

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.

This is what they look like ripened. They practically pop in your mouth they are so juicy.
