Calling all tomato experts!

I hope so! Time to water now.

I'm hoping! I munched a few tomatoes at Kaiser and didn't get arrested. I feel I'm "entitled" out there, since they removed my beautiful snow pea plants to plant their tomatoes.

Thanks Vanny.

@LadyDuck My ears are open!

@TheHorse We are actually having a very rare cool day today, but it is supposed to be back in the 90's again tomorrow. It is also storming here today, too.

It's been in the 90s, but now it's in the 70s.

@DaddyEvil We haven't had any rain here in weeks. I'm going to cycle while it's nice and cool and maybe visit the pool later.

I'll gobble them up with blue cheese dressing before the evil beasties can get to them.

@TheHorse If they thrive, you'll be begging people (and animals) to take them off your hands. I guarantee it. On the other hand you might be like my ex-mother-in-law and have to stop because the acid from the tomatoes has brought on lesions in your mouth. Have fun! I planted two brandywine tomato plants this year and immediately gave away the first two tomatoes that ripened. Fresh tomatoes are delicious, and I love a tomato sandwich, but these puppies are prolific. One season of growing cherry tomatoes convinced me to stick with the big ones.

I hope so! The plant looks healthy, but I don't see any flower activity yet.

@TheHorse I'm sure you will.

Thanks! I'll occasionally give them an extra shot of Miracle Gro Quick Start as well.

Thanks! What is your boyfriend planting? Will it be warm where you are for awhile?

@TheHorse We bought the easy plants like red russian kale, basil, and we also got 3 others but I do not recall what we got. They're the seeds from Home Depot packets, on the back it says they're in season to plant now. The weather was okay today. This evening was chilly and it hasn't been chilly for a while!

@TheHorse If the flowers develop in the next 7 to 10 days, you still have chances to eat those tomatoes.

@LadyDuck I'm hoping! I'll keep watering, but not over-watering, and see what happens.

No flowers yet--just healthy looking green leaves.

@TheHorse peppers love't, too.

@crazyhorseladycx For some reason, I've never tried growing peppers.

Epson salt--I hadn't heard about that!

@JamesHxstatic Sigh. I guess I'll just water them when they look like they're starting to sag.

Ah, OK. Is that something people do with tomatoes?

@TheHorse yes, but I never know what the right amount is!

True. I hadn't thought about bringing them inside. I hope they produce before frost season rolls around.

@TheHorse Home grown tomatoes are ambrosia. So to speak.

Thanks! I ate some today, but they were store-bought.

@TheHorse Haha, well in due time you will be having some of your very own!

We shall see. Even if I get only a few I'll be happy.

Rotting? Too much water?

I'll just keep nursing them along and see what happens.

It always helps when I transplant.
