Tomato season is coming!

Tomatoes are everywhere. All my plants have lots and lots of tomatoes on them.
This one is the first Mortgage Lifter.

These are Opalkas, a paste tomato.

It won't be long before the dreaded hornworm comes around. I generally inspect the plants each morning and again in the evening, looking for the telltale skeletal leaves. Being colorblind, I find it very difficult to spot the catapillars, but their damage to the leaves gives them away.

  1. Long time no hear from. Been doing my own share of digging this year. Built a small greenhouse last fall. Lots of tomatoes, cucumbers, sweet peppers, cantalopes. I got more JalapeƱos from two plants than I know what to do with! Been on a carpentry kick as well. Refinishing old furniture, built a corral for the trash cans and am just finishing a new storwge building. All designed and built from scratch. Drop me a line and we can get lunch sometime
