Proud to say I had my first home grown mater sandwich today. Been getting a few grape tomatoes for the past 2 weeks, but had a nice red juicy full grown one today. Meant to take a picture but ate it already. Cukes and peppers and a few squash also coming in.
Picked these today , can't keep up with all the veggies right now!Attachment 130061
I had a bunch of cherry tomatoes but the wife made a big salad last night. These are my first Roma's of the year and are pretty small. I guess do to the cold spring.
i'll take a head of that cabbage, a lb. of those maters, and a hand full of those banana peppers!Quote:

Tomatoes aren't doing great here either. The blooms fall off without producing fruit. We've had plenty of water. Someone said it may be the heat.
High temps will stop blooms from setting.:donoQuote:

It has been planted in crappie guts and watered only. You may ask, "where did you come up with crappie guts?". At this time, I cannot reveal my source, but most anyone that catches fish will let you have a bucket of guts.:biggrin
Hey dude, it's okay. We know Carol catches all the feesh around there. Your secret is safe with us. :Rofl Way to go on the Crappie 'maters!Quote:

I took the wife out the other night for dinner. We stopped at this place, made our order and sat down to eat. Country fried steak, greens and pinto beans with cornbread. I made a round on that plate then took a bite of that piece of bread and good god, I thought I was going to lose it heading to the bathroom. Well I carried it back up to the counter and asked, "do you have any cornbread that not de'sert?" He said it was southern style. Well this southern boy wasn't raised on sugared cornbread, it went into the corn mash.
No sugar! X2. Lol haven't had a mess of beans and "combread" in a while, sounds good.
I've got some good tomatoes coming off now. Gave a sack away to a friend already.
Close to 150 tomatoes this afternoon and I could pic another box full, anybody live around Conway you can have all you want I'll meet you and give them to ya , just call me and make arrangements 501 358-2551Attachment 131687
That's a buncha tomatoes Greg. You are in the truck patch business whether you like it or not. As your financial advisor, I don't think you are gonna make any money at the deal offered above, but you will make lots of friends.

Looking good. Those are some dandies. I just took the 3rd ripe tomato off of my one plant. I counted and as of this morning, I had 26 green ones left on it. Maybe they will go ahead and get red sometime in the near future.
Glad someone's patch is good , worst bunch of plants ever here. Squash and Cucumbers over flowing to the Goats out back.

Tomater condo is still producing. Most are small. Have got a slab outa there occasionally. Good thing I didn't plant 2 tomaters.
RCC that looks more like a Christmas ornament.
FISH ON:fish
With the cooler temps and rain my plants are full of blooms and tomatoes. The cherry tomatoes are over six foot tall.
