Anyone else also experiencing the same thing? Not a whole lot of growth up here. Tomatoes don't like a lot of water. Seen one plant had a half dollar size tomato coming. A couple huckleberries are just starting to turn purple. The turkeys are hanging around the bushes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swamprat Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 My boys have picked about a dozen or so cherry tomatoes in the last week. Bunch of cayennes growing just waiting til they are red. Today they dumped one of their tater buckets. Made it almost 3 months. Got 3 more buckets on the deck. The quarter is for size reference.

Wait a week or two after the tops die. Won't say what that tomato looks like, might get in trouble, but she's a hot tomato hunterbob1 and Lunatic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else also experiencing the same thing? Same here. Burlington county. I planted cherry and beefsteak. It's what my wife and kids like. I have some other random stuff in pots and the pots are doing better. Not sure if it's because that soil can warm up faster, drain faster, not competing against other plants/weeds. Got about a dozen cherries so far and the beefsteaks are no bigger than a tennis ball. Cucumbers are starting to climb and have some flowers but no actual veggie yet. Cayennes and ghosts in pots are doing fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cherokee Purple are delicious although delicate and have to be picked on time. I'm trying the Brandywine for the first time. How are the early girls?
