Tomatoes.....


these are some of the heirloom varieties...




this is one of the best of show varieties....


more photos to come as things start to ripen up.....some of the pumpkins are already starting to ripen, they were planted very early for eating...later ones will be planted this month to be ready for Halloween.. The tomato seeds were from mix pack of best of show and a mix pack of heirloom, so soon I will be able to tell the actual cultivar once they ripen, but i can definitely already see the difference in structure between the two varieties already....

hey Dewey, thanks for coming by....look forward to seeing some of your tomatoes in my thread..after seeing your great gardening skills, I'm sure they will be beauties.....

Yea I know. I'm waiting for them to produce right now. Once there showing I will pop a pic. How long do they take from showing of flowers?

awesome job. What type of pumpkin are they, pie, jack o's?

the pumpkin seeds, were from pumpkins we got at Albertson's grocery store.....I think they are looking like " small sugar" or "pie"...i see like 3 different phenotypes though, some look a little more like "jack o's"

Are you really in Italy? Just curious, as I've had horrible success this year with pumpkins. bah. Damn rain keeps killing them before they big enough to tear through the soil.

nope, I'm not really in Italy......living in America...Oregon

first pumpkin has been harvested.....

Dam did you wax that thing? Looks perfect.

There finally starting to show.

I have 7 tomato plants and they are all suffering! All the tomatoes have holes in them and at first I thought it was caterpillars.... although I never saw on any of the plants. Today I BUSTED the culprits.... came downstairs.... went to the back door and saw a bunch of birds sitting on the branches pecking away at the tomatoes... THOSE BASTARDS!!!!

Next year I'm going to build a screened in area to keep the little bastards out! Luckily they don't seem to like my bell pepper plants so at least I'm getting some peppers.

damn that sucks, I would have been pissed....fortunately the pests seem to leave me alone so far, knock on wood.....LOL.......good luck hope you still get some kind of harvest....

Here's my tomato plants(Rutgers). I bought the seeds around 5 years ago and was very surprised that they germed. Notice anything special in the last pic?
