I may be fairly free (not totally, but fairly) because I have such a high pH this year. It is too high for good iron absorption but it is great for calcium.<br /><br />EG, I just hope it keeps going like this. I still remember last year.<br /><br />kitsapFG, I hope you got your good weather today. I'm finally back from vacation and it must be in the nineties outside right now. Ick. But the tomatoes are eating it up. Usually when we get into the nineties it doesn't get very far in so our fruit still sets fine.<br /><br />Bangchik, thanks<br /><br />Ribit, thanks<br /><br />villager, I'm really interested to see how each paste tomato does with yield vs taste. The problem is I want to taste test their sauces, not their fresh eating taste, so it will be harder.<br /><br />Dan, I just can't bear to do it. I really ought to place the plants a half foot farther apart (maybe a foot), but I too want the variety.<br /><br />Vegetable garden, thanks<br /><br />miss m, as longs as the crop comes in I don't mind a bit late. Someday though I want to do an early plant or too so I can get some good eating early.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-38282424179973580472010-07-05T05:44:04.889-04:002010-07-05T05:44:04.889-04:00Those are some healthy looking tomatoes !

I hardened them off early and they're short and stocky and look much healthier than last year's. I'm hoping for a good (albeit late) crop.miss mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08779663826025791655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-8361570124791312072010-07-04T21:42:07.675-04:002010-07-04T21:42:07.675-04:00I love growing tomatoes, Basically, they are easy ...I love growing tomatoes, Basically, they are easy to grow and maintain.

Seems my only opinion for fitting 16 plants in a spot for 12.... :-)<br /><br />I like the fence too.

It's always nice to see what others are growing.<br /><br />This is our 3rd year for Principe Borghese, and we got a lot of them last year. We dry most of them, but they are certainly meaty (if small) and could be used for sauces. I don't think they have a lot of flavor fresh, but that's me.<br /><br />My Opalka and Amish Paste are lagging in setting fruit, but the vines are healthy and they are flowering now. They too seem to have no fruit lower on the vines. It will be interesting to see what the total yield is on these.Dave @ HappyAcreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441364543023807886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-66426503862216943222010-07-03T21:05:45.733-04:002010-07-03T21:05:45.733-04:00Wow!

I have lots of flowering going on in the main garden but not much fruit set and I know it is because of the cold weather we have been experiencing. They say it will warm up on July 5th so I am hoping the plants get a move on and start setting fruit soon. <br /><br />Enjoyed the tour of your tomato patch!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-31860757622374385742010-07-03T10:27:57.791-04:002010-07-03T10:27:57.791-04:00Daphne - your plants look absolutely fantastic!

I'm interested to see how your San Marzano does, that is the only one that you have out there that I have as well. It is also the only plant that I have (so far) that has blossom end rot, and so I'm having to remove most of the few fruit it has set as it is!<br /><br />I really like the picture of the spray of blossoms from your Principe Borghese plant! I like that it almost looks like a "Y" of fruit!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619491019764818646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-91610748637015281772010-07-03T09:07:05.283-04:002010-07-03T09:07:05.283-04:00Wow Daphne!

I got the seeds but started them WAY to late... next year... when I'm finished working on the house... I'll be able to really concentrate on my garden!<br /><br />You've inspired me to try some asian greens next year too!<br /><br />Our co-op (Bountiful Baskets) had Bok Choy recently. It was wonderful! I'd love to grow some next year!<br /><br />Happy 4th!!! And... Happy gardening!!!Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251147737253912516noreply@blogger.com
