An Update From our Tomato Garden

Here are some pictures of our little tomato garden that is producing quite a few little sweet and delicious tomatoes for us to enjoy:







All but one of our plants are flourishing. The plant in the red pot is a different variety of tomato that was given to us by a family friend, and I just think that it was not meant to live in a pot. It has one fair sized tomato on it, but half of it has been eaten by end rot, so I do not have much hope for it. However, the others are looking amazing! They are heavy with fruit and we have been picking a few tomatoes every few days. 

How is your garden doing?

Tomatoes!

Today marks the very first day that D and I are attempting to keep something alive, besides ourselves and the cats :). Today, we planted tomatoes! We have four very healthy certified organic kootenay tomato plants,picked up this morning at the farmer's market , which should hopefully be providing us with an amazing bounty later on this summer. We also have four no so healthy, scraggly plants that were given to us by a family friend last week. I don't have much faith in the little guys surviving, but I planted them anyways, just to see.





The last photo is three of the runts. I planted them together simply because I ran out of pots, and just want to see if they even last long enough to warrant buying pots for them. Hopefully we don't have black thumbs! Any tips on organic gardening would be greatly appreciated!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend,
