Late planting

[Town gardner]

I decided that I would add a few different plantings this year.
First off I let a few suckers get 4"to 6" and dipped them in Rootone and set them in water. A couple of them rooted well and my great grandson enjoyed the first of the cherry tomatoes from this plant.
Later ,I found a late volunteer pear tomato and transplanted it .The first tomatoes are now about ready on this plant.
I spotted some very distressed plants at a hardware store. They were reddish and spindly and close to death. At 4 pk for 50 cents I had to try and see what they would do. They are marked Celebrity and if things go well the now robust plants should produce a bit before frost . a 4 pack of sick peppers from there also are doing well.
I am a total amateur to this type of stuff but seem to be blundering along OK. I also have a couple late Husky Cherry red in a pair of wall mart bags doing well.
By far my best tomatoes have been Husky Cherry red that produced before my also much loved 4th of July.
I didn't intend to write a book here --just enjoying the experience.
I'll see if I can post a few pictures.

I have six started from suckers and planted in the large size totes first week of July. All have fruit now from pea to golf ball size. Early blight has appeared on the bottom however so I don't know how they will perform. Plants are Cherokee Purple, Bear Claw, Hillbilly and Big Beef. They range from 4ft to 5ft tall and look otherwise very robust. I am never satisfied unless I have a few October tomatoes.

I like seeing the flowers there too. Marigolds really do help keep bugs away.

Welcome to TVille!! Your tomatoes look really good, and you should have no problem with getting fruit from them this season.
