On Tuesday, Jun 21st, 2011, I was able to harvest my first tomato. I pick up garden advice whenever I can. A couple of weeks before Mother's day, I was observing a gentleman concentrating on picking his tomatoes pretty seriously. I asked him what he was doing. He was looking for the biggest tomato plant with flowers already on them. He said that he was able to have tomatoes two weeks before anyone else even though he planted them in containers. So I followed his advice and it worked. These tomatoes are better girls. I also stagger my tomatoes plants. I found some cheap tomato plants that were 3 inches tall so that I would also have tomatoes ripen later in the season. One of my cooking students had told me about propagating tomatoes from the suckers that grow from the tomato leaves. As long as you strip off the bottom leaves and stick the mini-plants tomato plants in dirt, they will root. This useful to know if you find a tomato plant and you want a clone if it.
My peas have gone wild.
The baby zucchini are just come in.
