My only consolation is that for as ugly as our tomato plants are, they always produce fruit. We're hoping for a day when ours look as healthy as yours.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05442310215979259623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-13596615581877353832011-06-02T12:01:55.923-07:002011-06-02T12:01:55.923-07:00Vanessa, look at my sidebar, towards the top (righ...Vanessa, look at my sidebar, towards the top (right under the Wonderfund logo), for a link to Bottomless Tomato Buckets.

I was able to hobble outside for the first time today since the accident to take a look-see and nearly all the new transplants have withered off and died. Only a couple left and they are pretty puny looking. :(( We've had ridiculous heat temps of 95+ the past 5 days since the storm and since I'm really the only gardener here.. well the ones hanging on are REAL troopers! I got them watered so we'll see if they can make it.. <br />*sighhh <br /><br />Maybe NEXT year will be my year for tomatoes!!! lol This year I'll just stick to the local Farmer's Market for my 'maters. :)<br /><br />Hugs!<br />~WendyThe Sassy Butterfly's Chaotic Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12388076846154748195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-74574919791524714722011-06-02T06:10:14.799-07:002011-06-02T06:10:14.799-07:00That's a nice looking group of tomatoes (even ...That's a nice looking group of tomatoes (even the little SunGold that is struggling!). Mine are all very big right now and blooming and fruiting (the Sun Golds) but they continue to have to be under cover because we have had so much continued rain. There is hope though. The forecast is calling for NORMAL temps and mostly sunny starting Friday afternoon - so I intend to yank the covers off and hopefully can leave them off for a week at least. We'll see. Some mid 70's weather (our normal this time of year) would be much appreciated though. <br /><br />Looking forward to your "I'm swimming in tomatoes" posts in the future.
