Default a weird garden

This is my entry for the most unusual garden award. I live in the Canadian
wilderness in the summers and due to all the shade from the large pine trees, I must container farm on docks out into the lagoon. I have 54
tomato plants (24 species), peppers and cucumbers. I start the seedlings
in San Diego and transport them here. These I grow mainly for seed to
grow seedlings for sale in San Diego to pay my travel expenses to and fro.
Any abundance of tomatoes will be a fringe benefit. Here is my list:
Brandywine
Giant Belgium
Box Car Willie
Black Krim
Stump of the World
Cherokee Purple
Cherokee Green
Earl's Faux
Cowlicks
Suddath
Kosovo
Watermelon Beefsteak'
Omar's Lebonese
Pineapple
Marianna's Peace
Kellogg's breakfast
Black from Tula
Prudens Purple
Carbon
Mortgage Lifter
Mr. Stripey
German Johnson
New Big Dwarf (oxymoron?)
Big Yellow
Garden Peach
Sungold f1
Black Cherry
Riesenstaub
Paul Robeson
Green Zebra

I should have no soil born pests and few, if any, air born pest. The deer,
bear and foxes don't venture out on the floating docks. The geese and ducks
like to snooze on the docks but, thus far, leave the foliage alone. It may be
a new problem when I get ripe tomatoes.

Never posted pics before so hope this attempt is successful.
