I am tired of singing ON THE ROAD AGAIN! (smile) And yet I will take another trip (about 3 hours one way) to deliver furniture and boxes to my oldest daughter this weekend. My backside is tired. I think I would rather stay home and look for bugs in my garden!! <br /><br />I really like that lattice for shade. If we continue to have temps in the upper 90s and the heat index pushing 110, I will need to do something for my poor plants.Debbie in MShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05297581188154833080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-87680511682976368902010-07-15T17:37:20.279-07:002010-07-15T17:37:20.279-07:00SB, I got the seeds free from WinterSown Org.

I have about 3-4 varieties of indeterminates that aren't much taller than my determinates. Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Kellogg's Breakfast, Black Cherry and Sungold are my tall ones. All the rest are around 3'-5' high. I do add composted dairy manure (from a local nursery) to all my beds each spring, about 2-3" deep. The tomatoes grown in the bottomless buckets are quite a bit taller than the ones growing in the ground, but that might be because they have a better support system. I ran out of tomato cages before I could double up (place one upside down on another) on all of them, so some flop over more.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-44818893183512760132010-07-14T08:44:28.601-07:002010-07-14T08:44:28.601-07:00Thomas, are your Clear Pink Early plants loaded, t...Thomas, are your Clear Pink Early plants loaded, too? I sure hope they are a good tasting tomato. My Minigold and Gartenperle are not going to be grown again, I may compost them as soon as something else ripens. The flavor of the tomatoes is just not good, and the Minigold has tough skins to boot.<br /><br />********<br />Thank you, The Mom. I almost divorced Mr. Granny while building the shade structure for the lettuce.<br /><br />********<br />Erin, I'm going to have to cut mine back quite a bit next spring. Or pick from a ladder. Those suckers are at least 10' tall, plus the 1' raised bed!<br /><br />********<br />Mr. H, most of the indeterminates have now reached the tops of their 8' stakes. I am going to have to use a ladder to harvest some of the tomatoes!<br /><br />No serious damage here, either. Of course, the wind already blew down our only back yard tree in 2008, that's why I have a garden there now.<br /><br />********<br />Kelly, and vanilla ice cream to top the chocolate cake. I'm going to have to buy a new wardrobe soon...about two sizes larger ;-)<br /><br />********<br />Johanna, I thought Sungolds were a round cherry tomato, but I looked it up on the Cornell website, and it says "3- to 5-foot, Indeterminate vines bear sweet, 1 3/8-inch by 7/8-inch, <i>OVAL TO OBLONG</i>, firm, meaty, clustered, golden-orange fruit with few seeds and free of cracking."<br /><br />Mine are definitely oval to oblong, but not 3-5'! It's about 7' right now.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5597627580631284872.post-41226249790324779582010-07-14T06:20:22.527-07:002010-07-14T06:20:22.527-07:00Beautiful update.
