So, did you notice how the buds form a double helix up the stock? I don't have any of that in my grow this year.

I'll have some tomato pics in a day or so, too busy to mess with downloading them from the camera right now. I have a couple 2#ers and one that I won't know till I weigh it - sized tomatoes, the kind with cleavage! One is nearly a complete circle round the stem.

Plucking off those shade leaves my fingers were so sticky…if my mom saw me sucking my fingers…

Tomatoes with cleavage so many jokes…so little time 🤪 Sounds like a good tomato.
Our Roma’s are starting to blush. The cherry tomatoes we get from our compost tomatoes are doing great lots and lots. What we don’t eat immediately…I dehydrate to add into marinara sauces later on. Adds a ton of flavor, I use ‘em like a dry paste to thicken up the sauce.

Dehydration of the cherry tomatoes for paste! I don't have a garden every year so I don't have a lot of creative ideas one gains from continued experience. We have four cherry tomatoes, 2 gifted and two were rescues from walmart. The rescues are doing much better than I expected so I feel justified in getting them. I'll leave pot growing to the pros.

Too hot to be in here so later!

I’ll describe the whole deal…it was born out of desperation.

I'll be there!

Thanks!
