Frost…

So, the time has come to discuss the issue of frost and how we (in the North) are going to extend this season and try to get our tomatoes to ripen on the vine!! Last year I tried to create a greenhouse with greenhouse plastic, PVC pipe and packing tape around my entire garden. It […]

Free Tomato Plants!

I have several tomato plants that I need to get rid of. I dug them out of my vegetable garden last night to create some space between my existing tomato plants. There is one pear tomato plant, the rest are standard tomato plants. They are ALL producing tomatoes (green still). They have been raised organic, […]

Tomato Supports

(I totally should have taken a picture – I might just sneak over to the neighbor’s and do it tomorrow.) A friend of mine has built himself some awesome tomato supports! He took lath or about 1 inch wide wood and made square cages. They are at least 7-8 feet high (with more to spare […]

Veggie Garden Expansion!! (Phase 1)

Today I put the perimeter fence around my larger veggie garden! It doubled it in size. I still have the wrought iron black fence, and rabbit fencing inside. I was short about 5 feet of rabbit fence so I put up some extra lattice I had to block that corner. The rest was cake! I […]

Transplanting the seedlings :)

So I was able to harden the seedlings successfully! Normally that’s when I kill things. Generally I forget about them and then they die from over exposure. This time I was meticulous about how much time they were out each day and brought them in properly. The only thing that happened was a little sunburn […]

Indoor Tomatoes Have Fruit!

My indoor tomatoes have fruit on them! I had to pollinate them myself when they had blossoms. I have never done this before but I must have done it right because the tomatoes came. 🙂 I did it with a spoon so I could catch the pollen and redistribute it to the other blossoms without […]

Weekend Yard and Garden Work

I got the majority of my outdoor weeding done yesterday! The vegetable garden was full of thistles and other odd looking plants I didn’t want in there. I also found a whole patch of volunteer tomatoes! They will need thinning so now I have a serious amount of tomato plants! The two strawberry plants are […]

Indoor Garden 4-14-2010

Hi everyone! I have an updated picture of the indoor garden for you! It is growing like mad, and it’s so neat to have a bit of summer right in my dining room. The giant monster tomato plants (started Feb 1st) that are actually pretty normal size are on the far left. On the very […]

Attack of the Monster Tomatoes!!

Well, in my effort to take tomatoes from seed to table 100% indoors I have created some monster tomato plants! Very tall, about 90% healthy, but no flowers to speak of…yet. Check it out: These babies (there are 4 large  and one small one that took longer to germinate than the rest) are over 2.5 […]

Indoor Garden Progress Post

So, the indoor garden plants are getting very big now! The tomato plants now have a regular support cage around them and are about 2+ feet tall. I am wondering when they will flower! The Cilantro continues to be prolific and I use it often in salads, breads and salsa. The Basil is also getting […]
