Took some pics today after watering the plants. Ami

They look absolutely beautiful! How is the weather for you? Still summer-like?

My tomato plants are all dead by now, with some rare exceptions. Worst summer I remember for tomatoes here in Greater Vancouver.

Tania, starting to cool down with the daytime highs in the low 20's and the nights getting down to around 6-8 Celcius. I've managed to keep disease at bay and have been applying ferts once a week. Hopefully the greens will turn by the end of the month. As you can see Serenity and Sweet Dreams have done well this year. I have yet to get a harvest from the six plants I have growing at work. A lot of green fruit but nothing has ripened yet. I got my first Orlav Yellow the other day and it definitely does not like the heat during fruit set. Ami

Ami, I'm green with envy! This year has been the worst ever for me! You know I could get only some seedlings into the ground and then this terrible weather in August - this harvest is sooo poor! clara

clara, so glad to see you back posting. I've been super busy lately at work and home and will e-mail you later in the week. Ami

All, clara has been in and out of the hospital the last six months which has all but eliminated her tomato grow out this year. Ami
