A Late Start This Year

They're mostly in their containers and ready for that mulch.

Better late than never!

They're looking good. I planted 3 varieties both in the ground and in containers (and pruned), and the container plants are producing fruit more quickly. Are you planning to cage or stake? I just planted some late starts 2 days ago and am hoping to get fruit before frost, which is usually in October. Your season must last longer than mine, no?

looking good & healthy - bet they'll spring right on up. Did anyone really get early this year? I was severely derailed (am being given cherry tomatoes by folks who purchased plants of mine LOL) but am now on track.
