Thanks Sharon, haha, a little tomato-crazy, that's all. My Hubby calls me 'Tomato girl"... Anyway there are worse things I could be doing I like to point out to him...
The weather was cold earlier but it's about to get pretty hot this week. hopefully not hot enough to make blossoms drop because some of the later ones are just blooming now and if they don't pollinate these first ones then there won't be a nice crop from those. You are right about it being a challenge to grow tomatoes in this area but hey, it makes it more "fun" right? I think it makes those tomatoes I get taste all the sweeter
I am a rank amateur compared to so many here on Tomatoville with huge greenhouses and farms but I have fun with my small gardens and waiting for my F2's to ripen this summer, a first for me is the most fun I've ever had gardening. Somehow I am sure there is the perfect Karen tomato among them. Or they could all be crap...lol

Makes it difficult but ii find cages just can't always hold them properly and inside containers it can get tricky, to say the least. But it looks beautiful! How's the weather? We're getting a hot one in Montreal and so far not that much rain. I'm worried when it does come it's going to be a bad one. Last year a lot of my tomatoes had broken stems and the cages almost came out of the containers.
Great stuff! We Canadiens have to make the most out of the short and ever changing forecast!
