Just put out fall tomatoes!!!!

Worth1 · July 31, 2007

Thanks to Suze I put out 22 fall tomato plants and laid down new mulch.

The mulch is from a LOT of Elm trees and limbs I put trough the wood chipper.

I checked out the drip system and I go to work tomorrow.

I also put out some pepper plants I had in containers.

Fly little birdies fly.

Me too! I took a vacation day and worked in the garden at various things from 8:30 AM till 6 PM (YES, my back is sore!). Planted some bush beans and squash, pulled some weeds, mulched -

but mainly went through my driveway tomatoes and pulled out about 60 or so plants, most of them the first planting of F2 and F3 dwarfs. I then planted most of my late summer/fall crop, so I now have another 50 or so grow bags or small pots out there. I will be putting updates in the R&D forum in the appropriate threads for the F3s.

Now we need to can some tomatoes, as I stripped the plants of a load of fruit. That's tonight's task (Sue just finished canning a batch of bread and butter pickles with today's Diva picking).

Also got my fall plants in today, except for 5-6 late starts I'll put in next week. 60 plants total -- 24 indet, 36 dwarf.

Indet/semi-det (*more than one plant):
*Cherokee Bi-Color F2
*SunPlum F5 (one PL)
Green Doctors
Sioux
*JD's Special C-Tex
*Blackfoot
*Japanese Black Trifele
Sweet Quartz
*Marizol Korney
*Liz Birt
Gregori's Altai
Ramapo F5
Bloody Butcher
Homestead 24F

Sungold is still in good to great shape, so I won't bother to pull that plant and replant a fresh one as I usually do.

May plant Peruvian Bush and GMG PL next week, plants still small.

Dwarf Project (F3 unless otherwise noted, multiple plants of all):
Summertime Green RL4
Summertime Gold PL1
Summertime Gold PL2
Summertime Gold RL1
Summertime Gold RL2
Summertime Gold RL5
Grumpy RL1
Dopey F2

will plant Bashful F2 next week, plant is still small.

Not bothering w/Sleezy-B RL6 again. Got enough of a look at it (and seeds) from the spring plants, and I don't care for the taste very much. Gives me more room for multiples of the others.

Compact/dwarf:
Orange Tree
Extreme Bush

I may try my new food dehydrator out tomorrow on some of the remaining pile of tomatoes in the dining room, might also freeze a few.

I havent set mine out yet but I have seedlings of

Black Cherry
JD's Special C-Tex
Gregori's Altai
Monomakh's Hat
Flamme
Azoychka
Bush Early Girl

some of the seedlings are a foot tall already but I really didnt want to put them out until mid to late August. Plus I have a Stupice in a raised bed that is close to 7 ft tall and has maybe 20 plus fruit on it, and a Gary O'Sena in an earthbox that is 5 ft but only has one fruit on it.
