2014 Muddy Bucket Farm Update

ContainerTed · June 22, 2014

Thought I'd do a little tour of my efforts this year. Health problems have consumed my time since last Thanksgiving. But, still, I got a few things done. Here's a little bit of "eye candy".

For my friends Alaska, here's the F3 fruit from the seeds you sent. The F3 and F4 containerized plants are clearly indeterminate and not dwarf in habit. Germination was vigorous and there are additional plants in the main garden.

I do plant a couple hybrids early each year and this is Big Boy. This morning, I counted a total of 21 tomatoes set on this one plant, and there are many more bloom trusses that might have additional fruit set.

My other hybrid is a Better Boy. It's great when we can get large fruit earlier in the season. Our season was late starting this year with frost in mid May. Buying a few mature plants helps stay out of the grocery stores.

I always love doing some macro pictures. Here's some blooms.

And, we always have the heavenly scent of the Magnolia blooms.
