One month since plant out pics
Hi all
I planted my babies out on April 11th...I think So its been about a month, and they are rolling. Fruitset on almost all that I started from seed in early Feb minus Red Brandy and Supersteak. I picked up some tiny seedlings from Brad at Wild Boar farms, and they are starting to catch too! Brian

Looking very nice. What varieties are you trying from Wild Boar? Hope you post these as they mature. I'm hoping to find room for a few next season.

Tomatoes are looking great!
Looks like you've got a nice place to go and relax after a hard day building earthtainers back there in that last picture. |

Can i ask what the tubes are coming out of your BucketTainers/Global Buckets... is it just to catch the over flow for re-use elsewhere?
Or some kind of auto watering? Oh and it is clear to see the effort in your garden, it looks great. Cheers |
