Thread: In the Garden 2018

They've got a ways to go but there are Roma Tomatoes at the Boars Nest.

Right now these are about the size of the regular grape tomatoes you see in the grocery store/maybe a bit smaller.

My Romas are going nuts. One stalk had 4 fruit hanging from it!

Rutgers Heirlooms are producing well too but not at the same rate. Two of them are approaching 6' tall with all the rain we've had. I had to lengthen the stakes yesterday.

hehehe I hadn't thought about counting but I just went out and checked my 'plant' as I only have one tomato plant and it's in a container and I have 6 fruits growing. I didn't bother counting the blooms but there's a lot of them.

As far as height goes mine is only about 2 ft and that's a good thing.

Unwritten North Idaho Rule.

Never put plants in the garden until June 1st

We shall see what survived last weeks Nighttime drops

Same rule up here Glen.
Might get lucky some years, but as a rule.

I got cocky Mike

Been staying on the boat every weekend since May 5th some 80° weather around the 15th Many of us up here were thinking a long summer

The worst part is that we didn't have a "Killing Frost" we had rain and cold nights at the same time

Looks like Shan's Pumpkins might have survived, but my Beans and Romas are looking pretty wilted

An older gentleman lived across the street from me when I first moved to Walla Walla and he was quite the gardener, hardly ever bought any produce from the store, he and his wife had always had a big garden and used fresh and canned a ton.

Anyway even here in the WW Valley he would never put his tomato sets out until I believe the 26th of May as that was the last recorded killing frost.

I hope what you've already put out can struggle by and recoup.
