Tomatoes Gone WILD!

When we first planted our very small tomato plants in May, we were worried that they wouldn't survive. They really looked bad and just sat there for the longest time. However, as the temperature got warmer, they revived and exceeded our wildest expectations.

Most of the plants are now about 6 ft tall and taking over the corner of the patio. We've really enjoyed having vine ripe tomatoes; makes a big difference in salads. We think we've gotten a good "return on investment" with our tomato crop. However, we may plant them a bit later next year.



We also learned that we need more stable stakes to hold the plants in place. As they've gotten so big, the small cages we used simply can't support them when a good wind comes along. Oh well, another learning for next year's crop.
