I use salt and pepper...I love carrots and turnips mashed together in one pot. It is my favorite veggie combo. I planted some seeds today...full moon is in a few days. Frost will be done by then.

I have some green beans that have blooms on them. Maybe I'll actually get green beans this year. A lot of the tomato plants have green tomatoes on them and the cucumbers have blooms too. Only 1 squash plant has blooms so I'm way behind on the squash production. Not sure what's going on with the squash this year.

MY basil is doing well, as are my chives, sage & oregano. I too have green tomatoes. Here's hoping I have a ripe one by the 4th of July. (the guide I go by)

Lucky you. but you do have warm weather earlier than I do so that may be the contributing reason.

Gosh Sunny that was fast. Everything must have been exactly right at planting.
My squash plants are big now but I don't have any blooms. We're usually overrun with squash by now.

Finally have a few blooms on the squash but they're all male. Hopefully a few female blooms will show up soon.

well YAY for me--I went to a few yard sales today & found a bigger pot for one of my tomatoes. The pot I put my Cherokee Purple plant in is really too small for long term growing. It is supposed to be cooler the early part of next week, so I will transplant then.

I didn't use cages this time. I am threading them through a trellis as they grow. Lots of trouble and I broke a branch already.

Yes I do that too. and yes the branches do break sometimes.
Back at the farm, Rod took a cattle panel and made me several tomato trellises. they are heavy & 2 sided things.
IF you caught the plant early enough you could "thread" them like you say, but otherwise it worked well to tie them to the 2 sides of the trellis. BUT they do not fit so well onto a pot----They are meant to use in the ground. I do so wish I could bend over more easily, I love those things.

Yay for yard sales.
I buy patio tomatoes here...they are the only tomatoes that ripen on the vine with our short season. I get 'Tiny Tim's' when I can...no staking needed.

I lust looked them up. I will try to remember to try to find myself some for next year--those would be ever so much better than the one I bought myself for this year. I cut them up and add it to spaghetti, for a luncheon meal. You take butter, chipped garlic, cut up basil & quartered cherry tomatoes & put them in a bowl. Then you add the hot spaghetti to that and stir it up after a bit of setting. It is quit yummy IMO.

I grew a pot of tomatoes one year. They did well. Good luck Sunny. I also grew pot blueberries one year that didn't do well. I couldn't keep the mites or whatever they were off them.

I have my second red tomato. The first one I found last night..it has fallen (washed off of its stem by the rains U guess) and it is an orange...so not quite ripe---Then tonight I found one still attached, that is a red/orange with some green in it yet. I hope that it can stay on the vine until it ripens completely. Now, to just keep the squirrels away. I have a long time until the 4th of July--so it is looking like I will get a ripe tomato well before then..YAY for Carol !!
