JD's special C tex, Bloody Butcher, Creole
I was able to clear out the mess and debris from a spot in the yard waste and compost area and made room for 3 tomato plants.

Cherokee Carbon and Better Boy
First time using grow bags. I was able to find a spot for two more tomato plants at the edge of the tiny pond.

Just Miracle Gro potting mix mixed in with a little compost.

Question? Can nematodes penetrate grow bags?

Nematodes in grow bags
Lucky for me the cages are sturdy enough (and the potting soil dense enough) to allow the legs of the cage to just rest on the bottom of the bag w/o having to stake the cage's legs into the soil. I was just wondering if maybe the larvae of the worms were tiny enough to worm (pun intended) their way through the fabric of the bag.

Brandywine and Sun Sugar Hybrid
These are in the "regular" tomato bed. There ARE nematodes in this area.

Brandywine and JD's Special C-Tex
Plants are looking robust and have either buds or flowers. A few plants have tiny baby tomatoes.
