Quick Photo my small tomato garden

flyfiishn · June 16, 2014

This is my first year so go easy on me.

I have 14 plants in my little side yard garden. Finally harvesting a few (black cherry, yellow plum and a few tigerellas)

I am fairly impressed with the Shady lady variety for a little indeterminate plant they really keep kicking out lots of fruit. Excited to have my first in about 3 to 4 days it looks like.

Wouldn't you know it I have already found room for 10-15 more plants for next year!!

Looks great! I also need to figure out how to fit 10-15 more plants next year. Happens every year

Looks good. Probably a pinch more fertilizer could help though. The leaves are a bit thin, so I'm guessing the soil isn't very fertile by itself.

My husband would be very happy with that. He thinks I go overboard.

Yep, I just gave it its first shot of fert. this year a few days ago. Saving all of my fish guts from trout and kokanee fishing also. Will try to get the soil in better shape for next year. It needs a little help.
