'maters in the ground

 

This morning after pulling them out of the garage


Later that day...

12 Carmello, two sixteen foot-long rows planted on 32" centers

8 Orange Icicle planted on 24" centers

16 Stupice planted on 24" centers.

I also planted Sweet Baby Girl cherry tomato in her "kitchen" garden.

Mrs ERJ and I have complimentary visions of gardening. I am crop and production oriented. She thinks in terms of meals. She likes a trickle of vegetables: a handful of green beans per person, a handful of cherry tomatoes...

A couple of pictures from last year

According to the blog, I was planting tomatoes May 31, 2022. In spite of a few mobility handicaps, we got the tomatoes in the ground and got a crop.

I planted three varieties last year and of those three only Stupice performed well enough to plant again this year. That makes four years in a row that Stupice made the cut.

  4. I work an online job from home and earn 185 dollars per hour. I never imagined I could do it, but my best friend, who makes $15,000 a month at the job, encouraged me to find out more about it. This has limitless possibilities.
