So is everyone getting thier tomato ready for the summer?

My first tomato...

WAY better than anything from Wegmans or Tops

Are those tomatoes organic?

Res, let me know if you need any basil to go with your tomatoes because mine seems to be growing about 2" per day!!!!!

I bought tomato seedlings this year, but the dogs got to them before I could get them in
I did manage hungarian wax peppers, jalapenos and basil.

I also have oregano popping up everywhere, volunteers from last year. I probably won't need to plant more of that for several years to come!!

I want to grow oregano, now. Got to get some deeds for next year.

I have a tomato that's almost ripe--hope I get it before the bunny does.

SEEDS!

Res--is your tomato at a party? (gonna get juiced) I see a lot of confetti around

Are those tomatoes organic?

I guess.. I only use general hydroponic food. No bug killer or anything. Even used lady bugs this year...

[WNYresident]

These are vine tomatoes in the success kit. Far better than the tomatoes I have in basic 14" pots... I think my tax refund check is going to get me 3 more kits and not going to use the round pots anymore.



The are very healthy without any bottom rot




I'm feeding them the general hydroponic food I got at harvest moon on Union Road at the airport plaza.

This stuff just rocks.

Not much of a gardener...just thought maybe the seeds indicated that they were not genetically altered...btw, I have no idea what I'm talking about, I don't know anything about organic except that it usually costs more than the "other" stuff.

This years crop is good

my wife has been growing tomatoes in pots this year & they seem to be doing quite well , I just feel bad that I've never had a chance to get them into the actual garden & out of the pots , just like our peppers (banana peppers) , & cucumbers are still in pots but seem to be doing well . Res , do you think I can keep them in the pots & they'll continue to do well & won't crowd themselves out ? My wife has been given me the business on this & all I do is point to how healthy they look in the pots , what else can I do ?
