I chopped all the old woody trunks on this old sob. Churned in some leftover roots soil Then Top dressed with earth worm castings some happy frog 7-4-5 and some garden lime. I also put some liquid sea kelp down in the resevoir, i don't know if that's a good idea or not. This plant has given me so many delicious tomatoes at this point its kinda just like an experiment to see how long i can get her to produce through the hot summer months. I also got rid of all those clamps and bungees and draped a net trellis over it ill secure that down and make it look all neet later. Time to medicate View attachment 3461108

I used to get the old soap in the mouth. This was back before they had all these fancy fruity smelling soaps.
Just a big white bar of soap. Gross as shit.
Better then the belt though.

I was gonns say dove, but It was ivory for sure now that I'm looking at those bars. I never had the palm olive. But my mom also used to get the big orange clear dial bars.. Disgusting.

First big harvest, more to come.

Some freshly vacuumed green and whole peeled tomatoes, snuck in some raspberries also. Urban farm uses all produce for student ran restaurant in a Montessori... All for the greater good

I am building my greenhouse now but just could not wait to start planting (i have found my new passion) just my first test run.

This tomato will be over 7 feet once it grows out the top of its cage.

I let some volunteer corn grow.
This stalk is around 7 feet high and has red silk.
Will the corn be red?
Corn silk on the other Silver Queen is a greenish white color.

Wow, that's unique! I have some Silver Queen going also. The ears are about done, I think lol...first time growing corn. ATB!

I wait until the silk is all but dry.
You can always take a peek by peeling a bit of the husk away and look at the top of the cob.
If still immature, put the husk back in place with a rubber band and check the next day.
Silver Queen usually produces foot long cobs of white sweet corn.

Thanks for the great tips. I've eaten plenty of it before, I just have never grown corn. Will definitely start feeling up the silks.lol ATB!

Feeling up on the corn. Nice.

Man you guys are kicking ass, my garden has been pretty screwed this year, first monsoon rains for months on end, now I've got a deer I'm pretty sure it is that is just ravaging beans and chomping vines off tomatoes at about 4ft off the ground. So to add insult to injury, after eating the hell out of most of my bean plants, I went out to pick my first ripe tomato. I had been waiting days for it to ripen, my favorite Cherokee Purple, and the tomato is gone. I start looking around and there it is on the ground a couple feet away half chomped into.

I haven't picked much yet this year, some beans and a couple cucumbers, a couple zucchini, a couple tomatoes and about 10 nice big red peppers from those two plants I overwintered. Tomatoes are starting to ripen though, I have 4-5 that are 6ft tall and starting to overgrow their stakes, but the rain definitely hurt them and then the deer or whatever it is eating on some of the vines isn't helping.

I just got a new computer after my old one crashed, I'll try to get some pics tomorrow.

I'm having the same issues now, but with squirrels......of course it's the varieties I haven't tried yet also. ATB!

Finally getting tomatoes before august!
