Aint It a Shame?

marc_groleau · July 22, 2012

It's that time of year and it's a bit of a shame that I don't believe my 2012 garden is ever going to look any better than it does today. Everything is at its peak. It's going to be downhill from here. Oh well, I'm just starting to get ripe fruit on my 4th of Julys, Cherokee Purple is blushing and I think I'll be eating some by next weekend. My paste tomatoes are looking fine.
Highlights of my season have been that I believe I managed to cross my Pineapple and Cherokee Purples so I have that F1 planting to look forward to next year. Also, I apparently grew out seeds from a hybrid cherry plant that came Italy. These came up showing three similar yet different types of beautiful plants and fruit all from the same seeds. So next year, I'll be growing out F3s and that will be something to look forward to.

One row of paste tomatoes

F2 Italian Cherries eager to grow out next year!

Surrounded by great plants in 2012
