Wow! So many ripe tomatoes already! In Serbia! My apologes for not being familiar. How would you describe your climate?

The pictures above are from last and earlier years, except the last post with the Labrador, that one is from this year.

I think that climate of central Serbia is similar with climate in southern Ohio, but with less reliable snow. Hardiness zone is 6. My town had extremes of -25 C to 45 C (-13 F to 113 F) in the last fifteen of so years. Last frost date is usually in early April. But the springs have been very cold in recent years, especially May, in step with climate change prediction for Europe. I planted the tomatoes out in late April, but they mostly stood still in May, because of the cold and almost constantly overcast sky.

Hail is also a problem here. Last year an area just kilometers north of my house was heavily hit, with roofs and windows of houses shredded, and open holes on the metal parts of cars. Shade netting saved my tomatoes then, I luckily got the fringe of the storm. My father's vineyard and plum orchard were not that lucky.

Ohhhh! Of course! "Earlier years"!

What variety are the cherries in the white 5 gallon (? L) bucket?

In post #723 is a variety called Jasmin, developed at the Institute for Vegetables here in my town. Very sweet and vigorous, and tolerates lite late-fall frosts.

Default Trying to save tomatoes from birds and squirrels

at this time in my growing season I have only a few green tomatoes that have a a chance of of ripening. This season has been really bad with the birds and the squirrels getting a lot of the fruits. So I put nylon knee-highs over the larger green fruits that are still on the remaining plants. The fabric will expand as the fruit grows.
