Hey Gardeners,
Here's a shot of 2 out of 3 of my Orenburg (Siberian) tomato plants which have been in the ground for about two weeks. I had to protect them with a cover for only two nights when the temps dropped below 40. My first four Orenburgs bit the dust due to the low 20's we got last month. I now know better!
Ain't got no blooms yet, but the stalks look purdy good.
The teepee is an original (if you can make it out) from tree limbs from one of our trees. Holds up good even in the 20-30 mph winds we had here in Algonac.
I have about 15 more varied tom-plants in various stages to put in the ground. I will stagger these with hopes that my crop will produce ripe toms at different intervals.
Last year was my first time at gardening and I am having one-hell-ov-a-fun-time again this year. So much so, that I increased my garden size from 15' X 15' to 46' X 35'.
IF..the fun increases this year....I'll be out of "yard" next year.
