They are more impatient than I am and can never wait for them to ripen. They try them. They say "ick not quite ripe" then go on to the next poor partially ripe tomato. At least this time he only tried one.<br /><br />Kate, I'd kill for tomatoes in the spring and the fall, but I'll never get them like you do (at least that is my assumption). Well the fall I will since I can pick all the partially ripe ones and keep them on the counter. I hope I start getting ripe tomatoes in a couple of weeks. I really can't wait for them.<br /><br />Dan, I just hope your weather is better than mine. So much rain is bad for my garlic.<br /><br />Annie's Granny, lol well I am occasionally when they get bad. Last year they got really bad. I'm hoping this year they can be deterred without Death by gardener. Oh I hate those verification letters. I've gotten better at them at least. I used to mess them up all the time. It would take me three tries to get it right.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-13417597956723063332009-07-01T01:30:11.997-04:002009-07-01T01:30:11.997-04:00At least you weren't labeled a murderer!

I'd kill for some live 'maters this time of year, but it's just next to impossible in Florida summers.

I have only 1 tomato plant but many, many chippies. I've been live trapping them and driving them to a nice woods about 4 miles from here.donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-39062982855670691072009-06-30T17:24:28.811-04:002009-06-30T17:24:28.811-04:00Bangchik, most will if given the chance.

We don't get a frost until the end of October, but they never make it that far.<br /><br />our friend Ben, thanks. I really can't figure them out. I'm happy mind you, but they are growing like crazy. I wish I knew what was making them grow like that. It certainly isn't the weather.<br /><br />Frances, sorry your peas are over.And yes there are worse things. I do love the snap peas they are so tasty. Oh wow, I forgot about all the things that just didn't germinate. My brussels sprouts didn't come up. Well one did but it didn't form any roots. It isn't a problem though I have some kale seedlings that I had no spot for them. I'm happy I have them now. They get to live. I have a bunch of sunflowers that bit the dust too. Death by squirrel, death by bird, death by lack of germination. I have one Lemon Queen left. Its lower leaves died, but it seems to be outrunning its issues. I hope it blooms.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-58713140994271049252009-06-30T14:09:36.182-04:002009-06-30T14:09:36.182-04:00There are worse things than picking peas all seaso...There are worse things than picking peas all season, she says as the last of the peas were picked here, sadly. Also lots of rain, but that is another story. Your lives seem to be outnumbering your deaths nicely. The tomatoes are especially nice. Death had a gala here when the seedlings that were too big for the greenhouse were put into the cold frame too early and got zapped with cold. What do you think about two whole packs of sunflower seeds that never germinated? Does that count as death if it was never alive?<br />FrancesFranceshttp://fairegarden.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-11207758700299631912009-06-30T13:34:49.359-04:002009-06-30T13:34:49.359-04:00Your tomato patch looks fantastic, Daphne!
