Still not getting any ripe tomatoes. They just keep getting bigger. You know, a slice of bread is only so big!
I heard one of the thrift store ladies say, "look, there is a little tomato." I hadn't noticed, but I guess I have small tomatoes now. The five plants in the kiddie pool are kicking ass. I need to get another couple of pools planted.

That is true. Mine is waist high. Still pretty sad. I'm planting corn, peas and greenbeans on Thursday or Friday. My only concern is that it might get too hot for the beans.
i have a couple of gifted low acid tomato plants to put out soon.

my brussels sprouts took a dump and died. too warm. those should be planted in the winter i think.

I gave away 9 Cherry tomato plants to the folks at the thrift store today. 8 in gallon pots that I took to the store, and 1 in a 3 gallon pot I put on my friend Nina's front porch. {she is 80+ and can't carry a heavy load anymore} Cherry is my least favorite of all I have going, and I had the most of them.
I grew a bunch of black cherry tomatoes last year - delicious. But nothing compares to the old heritage pink beefsteak.
Cripes i cant imagine having ripe tomatoes this time of year. When is your gardening season over ?

Most years there isn't a killing frost until November. Sometimes December. But everyone here grows greens all winter, so the season never really ends, you just plant different stuff.
