The fall crops look good but what ever tomatoes that were on the plants have now split. Too much water and I didn't pick them before the rain.

Plants respond much more vigorously to a deep soaking from rain than any irrigation method. Don't you love those tomatoes that take over the world? I have a Celebrity plant in the greenhouse that is a monster - despite my pruning it several times already! I just hope it continues to thrive and ripen the fruit on it soon. Unlike you we have no possibility of warm summer weather in the offing - so getting tomatoes to actually finish up the ripening process is going to be a challenge. I am up to it though!kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-17345865350156573862010-08-26T08:14:09.581-04:002010-08-26T08:14:09.581-04:00You only got 2 inches?

Last week in the 90s, then rain and 60s and back into the 90s for the weekend. <br /><br />I love baby seedling pictures. Your tomatoes look very happy as well. Have a great weekend!The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.com
