I was thinking it was because the plants got ESPN, but you're probably right.

Yeah, to say I was less than thrilled to see the state of the packaging (that's literally how they came out of the box) and the plants themselves would be an understatement, but tomatoes are nothing if not resilient. They'll be getting a transplant into some coco and perlite in a bit, eventually moving into hempy buckets. I'm sure at least a couple will pull through.

I thought I was going to lose my yellow squash after accidentally spilling a wheel barrel full of rocks on it but I'll be eating some soon.
The tomatoes are doing good but I think I've overcrowded them like I always do. My tomato support might look ghetto but it cost less than $10 to make. The bamboo stakes that I already had go from the ground and into holes I drilled into the framing I made.
Peas and corn on a strip on the south side of the house that I turned into more gardening area.
Cucumbers are just waiting for hotter days to really take off.
My romain lettuce is e-coli free as is the leaf that I can't remember the name of.
My pole beans are ready to start climbing so I built a frame and I'll run string from the top and bottom for them to climb on. I call it my Bean Machine.

That's a good looking garden you've got there.I thought I was going to lose my yellow squash after accidentally spilling a wheel barrel full of rocks on it but I'll be eating some soon.

I almost made a comment about loss of signal. I hear folks up north have to clear the snow out of the dish. I guess you could send the kid out to move the tomato plants. lol

The Cherries and Yellow Pears are both fast producers. My two broadleaf varieties are just now starting to bloom.

i got one strawberry off of my plants and now something is fucking them up. i'm guessing slugs or some other bugs, they don't have actual bite marks, but there are nasty looking pits in them. all the rain is keeping my plants small, and it seems to be boosting the slug population to record highs. supposed to finally start drying out next week, i'm gonna start some new peppers and may a couple more eggplants to put out as soon as they get big enough

If I had to choose on tomato variety to grow, yellow pear would probably be it. I love those little guys.

I grew one in a kiddie pool. Fucker got huge. I got tired of picking the little shits, so I stopped watering it and let it die. I do like eating them in the garden, but nothing like a Pruden's Purple or Brandywine.
