The Tomatoes. To this point, the most visible of my plants. The tomatoes are growing very well. No fruit as of yet, but A LOT of flowers and growth. I think the combination of Epsom Salts and Coffee Grounds has really helped them take off. Of course, all of the rain probably hasn’t hurt either.
The first picture is the overview. The Big Boy tomatoes are in the front, going toward the top. The Romas are under the tree.
The second and third pictures are the Big Boys. They started at 4 inches and are growing tall ever since. Hopefully, we’ll have fruit there soon.
Pictures four and five are Roma Tomatoes. I bought those on a whim. A four pack for $3.50. To be honest, I’m not sure how to use Roma Tomatoes in cooking but I’ll figure it out. Again, the coffee grounds are helping. I’ve tied them off to the cages and they are straightening out.
The last two are my newest additions, at least as far as tomatoes are concerned. I ordered some strawberries online (burpee.com) for the hanging strawberry planter thing. To get free shipping, I needed to buy something else (darn). I ordered the Tumbling Tom Yellow Cherry Tomatoes. They thrive in pots so I’m really looking forward to see them grow something. Also, don’t freak out b/c those tomatoes look withery. The first picture is the first day after getting in the mail. In the pot, they are doing much better. Even after only a few days in dirt, they are really picking up.
