I think you've died and gone to heaven! Wow! What can I say? Nice huge tomatoes. Your work has paid off.

Think you can e-mail me one of those CPs?

Adenn1 · June 26, 2006

Very nice indeed! Beautiful collection of tom's...you should be proud

Grub · June 26, 2006

You are a man of great taste. Brandywine Sudduth and Fosters. Two of life's necessities. Great growing and hurry up GMG

timcunningham · June 27, 2006

GMG is on its way, probably 3 more weeks and I will have loads of them.

Grub · June 29, 2006

I hope it taste okay, Tim.

What I'd give for a B.Sudduth right now.
I was cleaning out the cupboard the otther day and all the virgin olive oils reminded me of insalada caprese, the summer staple. But no tomatoes. And the basil is on its last legs.

Keep up the great posts.

I think they are getting revenge Grub

No revenge, Mantis... Just "tough love"

Great pics Tim, keep 'em coming.

Mantis · July 1, 2006

Yes, keep the pics coming. We love them. The more fruit you get from your homemade earthboxes the happier I am for sure.
On a side note, I found a hydroponic shop today when in another town. I think the guy was motivated by cultivation of funny weed indoors , but he had a huge amount of stock, and he was a very helpful and happy guy. I came away with a 5 litre container of hydroponic fert that will make up 500 litres of mix. Never looked at hydroponics before and I am not really looking into going down that path, but, I think this type fert will be good for potted plants. It has all the nutrients in a form that the plant can use straight away. I put some in the resevoir of the one homemade box I have that has broad beans in it . I'll keep you posted if the beans take over the henhouse.

Those tomatoes look so tomato-y (ie rich and flavorable). They just had to be good!
